Do I even have the energy to build rapport with a new tailor?
I don’t feel like I do.
(And are we even in the first world anymore? I fear we’ve already slipped at least to second.)
My friend Anu asked me what the alternative to building rapport with a new tailor was, to which I replied I’d have to learn how to hem pants. Not a big deal, and I’d have saved myself hundreds of dollars in adjustments over the years, I just yawn thinking of the prospect. The other consideration is that my eyesight is nowhere near what it once was, and I don’t want to go blind like all the sewing nuns that came before me.
