Here is the free advice I am dispensing for the day.
Ladies: No matter how enthralled you are with the new sandals you bought for the summer, no matter how comfortable you think they are, do not succumb to your desire to wear them for the first time on a day when you know for a fact that you must make a professional visit to Local University With Completely Inadequate Parking, where you will be forced to park about 6 miles away from where you need to go. You will, of course, be late, and will be forced to speed walk in an extremely unprofessional manner across campus, and by the time you get to the third floor of that building, you will have blisters on your feet that will make you want to walk barefoot back to your car after the meeting rather than suffer through that walk again. It will also not look good when you go back to your office and use up all the Band-Aids in the first aid kit by taping them all to your feet.
Simple, straightforward advice. That's what we're all about here.
Now, does anyone have any tips for blister treatment? I'm considering wearing bedroom slippers to work tomorrow.
