I had a client meeting today.  It’s actually the first time at this job that I’ve gone to a client’s office and met them.  Kind of exciting.  What made the morning special, though, was that I had to actually dress up a bit.  Where in my old job, I had to wear a suit every day, here, I can wear pretty much anything I want.  Normally, I come in jeans and a t-shirt, during the summer, I plan to wear shorts.  Maybe even flip flops.

But today, I had to wear a suit.  Which wasn’t so bad, it turned out I had a clean one.  The issue was actually the shirt.  I have about fifteen dress shirts, three of which need to be retired, and the rest of which I have hanging in my closet.  So I looked at all of the shirts–and every single one of them was wrinkled.  Why is that a problem?  I hate ironing.  The ironing board is in the service porch, and while I was ironing the shirt, it dipped into the dog’s water dish.  Then it picked up some of his hair.  And then I had to actually iron the damn shirt.

Ok, so here’s my free idea to anyone who wants to make money off of great ideas:  Make a mannequin designed to be an iron…  All you do is put the shirt on over it, and it automatically irons the shirt.  Yes, someone please invent that.
