Fixated.
I love Mike dearly, but he gets fixated on the smallest things.
Lately, it’s been his all encompassing need to buy a watch. A nice watch. An expensive watch. A watch he’d never wear except on special occasions (re: weddings of funerals). Because a grown man cannot show up at a job interview without a decent watch!
I offered to lend him my watch, which may or may not have a Minnie Mouse face, but he declined.
On some level, I agree with Mike. He’s got some big job interviews coming up, and a nice watch shows that a man is polished and punctual. That he pays attention to the details and (hopefully) has exceptional taste. But I won’t let on that I agree with him, because that would ruin a perfectly good Valentine’s Day present!
Bluedial has those pricey men’s watches that Mike can’t help but be fixated on for up to 70% off. Seiko, Movado, and Citizen Eco Drive Men’s Watches are all within budget at Bluedial.
At the very least, whoever interviews Mike will know that he has a wife with exceptional taste that pays attention to the details.

So, did you break down and get him a watch early? I know you want the one in the picture. Thought he maybe just couldn’t wait!

In a recent article on job interviewing we read that an experienced interviewer can tell at a glance your “material worth” by one’s clothing and accessories. Is this fair? I think not, especially in this economy. But the estimate is if you’re wearing say $1000 (yikes!) worth of stuff then your salary would be 10 times that amount.
So lucky hubby and I will check out the site. Mine, too, has this thing for watches and so does my dad

I used to wear a watch…even a nice watch, but with the advent of the clock on my cell phone, I’ve opted for comfort instead.
But I’m happy for Mike.

What was his expression when you gifted him watch.

I didn’t realize that Mike didn’t have a job too. I wonder if the watch can be used as a tax deduction for his job search?

I think a watch say a lot about a person–I can’t believe that a lot of younger people have stopped wearing them at all!
