for my next trick...

I turned myself invisible today. Not once but three times! Don't believe me? Let me tell you how I did it.

1) I was getting on the bus to work this morning and had my Oyster card almost at the reader when the man behind me reached around and put his card on instead. When I said "erm, excuse me?!" he looked me up and down and said "sorry, love, didn't see you there." Hmm.

2) Standing in the queue to pay at the salad bar this lunchtime a woman cut right in front of me. Again I cleared my throat and again I was told that she "didn't see me there". Hmm, hmm.

3) This last one was my crowning glory. I was in a meeting with three others (all male) in our department meeting room (tiny) when Dr Insufferable said "...and Illanare can do the tutorial on...has anyone seen her, by the way?" Hmm, hmm, hmm.

Now I am a small woman but the first two times I was wearing a cobalt-blue jacket and the last time? I was sitting next to him.
