Another "I Don't Work Here" Situation

[Seshat]

Sew a belt loop onto any garment that doesn't have one (including skirts and dresses). Attach a carabiner or dog leash clip to your keyring. Attach keys to belt loop.

have you tried keeping them on your purse? (this is of course presuming that you carry one) I keep mine on my purse via a "dog clip" (looks like a question mark, has the pull down). I have to lose my purse to lose my keys ... now if only there were as sure a way for me not to lose my sunglasses.... *sigh*

I don't carry one unfortunately. I end up leaving those places too which is why my wallet is usually in my back pocket (my phone is in my other back pocket because I can sit on it without breaking it.) I just don't seem to by a purse kind of person but I'm considering getting a shoulder bag. I just have to make sure I don't forget THAT. I think it would be easier though because if I sat down somewhere I could just have it stay on me because it would just hang next to my chair. I dunno. I've considered purses but they never seem to work out very well. (With me being as forgetful as I am.)

I was in a closing bookstore trying to chomp up as much of the sale as I possibly could with my lovely sister. I'm talking to my sister about going over to the animal section to look at the dog books because I'm a dog person when this occurs:

Oblivious Guy: Hey, do you have any books on the Crocodile man?
Me: I'm sorry?
OG: The Crocodile man...the guy. Steve...
Me: Steve Irwin?
OG: The Crocodile Hunter.
Me: Yeah, that's Steve Irwin. I don't know if they have any books on him.
SISTER: You could try in the Bio section.
OG: *stares at her a little like he didn't know she was there* Uuuuh...already did.
Me: Well we're going to the animals section, that's the only conceivable place I can think of other than Bio.

As he's following us I say kinda under my breath to her, "I don't work here." She takes hold of my laynard and jingles my keys. It dawns on me. Every time someone thinks I work somewhere it's because I'm wearing MY KEYS AROUND MY NECK. Oh sweet baby Jesus how did I not make this connection before?! It's too late though for this one so I make a quick scan of the shelves and tell Mr. Oblivious I don't see any books on Crocodiles at all much less Steve Irwin, then I grab the Cesar Milan book I wanted and (pardon the pun) BOOK it out of there.

I just wear them around my neck because they're the one thing of mine that gets lost more than anything else. I think losing them is worse than people thinking I work somewhere so I think I'll keep wearing them despite the annoyance. I'd rather not lose them.
