I know I'm not the only one...

My office has an A/V studio in it, where we record and edit podcasts and videos. Perhaps you've seen our work on YouTube, discussing ink cartridges, specialty foods and/or lip syncing to Seattle music.

Anyway, the recording studio is between my cube and the Diet Coke, so I pass by at least once a day. (Ok, let's be real, I pass by it closer to five or six times a day, but whatever.) The doors to the studio are generally ajar, but have an interesting reflective quality to them. And sometimes, when I pass by, I notice that I can see myself in the door.

Sometimes I check myself out in the door, determining if my hair looks ok, or if my shirt is tucked in evenly. Or if my shoes are too tall for my pants. Or if I have food in my teeth or if my skirt is too short or....you get the idea. I dont have a full-length mirror at home, so sometimes I need to just check on things.

I generally do this when no one's around, but I'm sure I'm going to be checking myself out one day and have someone come out of the studio cracking up, because they've been watching me from the other side of the door.

I have a full length mirror that you can have. Unless you would like to embarrass yourself in the future?
