ON NOT FITTING IN -

A few days ago at work, a fellow intern complimented the shirt I was wearing. I responded with the fact that I had purchased it at Goodwill and had consequently gotten a very good deal. His face immediately sunk into an expression of disapproval, and with the deepest extension of sympathy, he whispered to me (VERBATIM) :

Win some. Lose some.

p.s. I still wear thrifted clothes to work.
