I'm a 10. I like that size now but as a 12 year old it was really rough, they've come along way with having cool shoes that are bigger. Maybe being a 9 or 9.5 would be nice, a lot of Euro shoes are too tight at their highest size.
5) What's your go-to "I would totally get out of my seat to dance to this" wedding/party song? Bonus points for a youtube link with said song.
Dolly Parton's - 9 to 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwDMFOLIHxU
6) Your boss wants you to dress up in historical clothing that represents the history of your profession for a 3 hour stint at a local job fair. You will be comped by adding to your vacation time. They said they'd get the costume from a local theater group for you. When you get the costume it smells mostly like armpits and a little bit like mothballs. Do you do the stint?
I feel 50/50 about it but I'd probably do it - after some airing out, some febreeze and some bravado.
