Workshop Quirks

This is the sight that confronted me as I approached my workshop this morning.  You see, I'm just renting my house and there is wall-to-wall carpet everywhere.  I can't afford to muck it up by tracking clay around, so I put down some make-shift floor covers in the studio and I keep one pair of shoes to wear in there.  I kick off whatever shoes I'm wearing, go into the room, put on the "studio" shoes and go about my business.  When I leave the room, I reverse the procedure.  It's a pain in the you-know-what, but it will keep the landlord from suing me for damages.  Sometimes when I leave the studio, I don't bother putting the original shoes back on, and then later, end up wearing ANOTHER pair of shoes to be deposited by the door.  I decided they were a tripping hazard and put them all back where they belong.....at least, for a little while.
