This might be a sign that the CEO needs to get some new clothes. Or lose some weight. Or both:

I just now went to re-buckle my belt after using the facilities at my office. Quite to my surprise during the re-fastening process the buckle broke. It’s just a cheap leather belt I got from Eddie Bauer more than a decade ago that I have worn just about every day since, but still. It didn’t occur to me that it might ever break. At least I was able to jury-rig it so that I could keep the belt on (going beltless looks too weird even for me) but it is not now doing anything functional. I’m hoping to avoid inadvertently mooning anyone for the rest of the day, inadvertently being the key word there.

Also, my new office chair has wheels on it that are much, much too effective. It moves so easily it’s like it’s got a mind of it’s own. I swear that the thing (very sensibly) tries to flee when I am about to sit on it; it is pure dumb luck that I haven’t fallen on my ass yet when I go to sit down. It’s bound to happen eventually. I hope there aren’t any witnesses when it does. For the folks that will come running toward the sound of thunder coming from my office, I’ll just tell people that I was doing a back-handspring but couldn’t stick the landing. As long as there are absolutely no follow-up questions that explanation should work just fine.
