I have never fully seen my boss' feet even in summer. The closest was when she would wear flats and would dip and dangle but only glimpses of her arch. She's about mid to late 30s, 5'6 with a slender build and a mix of ethnicities but looks exotic like Padme Lakshmi.
Today was one of those days where she wore flats and dipped and dangled except for an unforeseen new element which took all of my will power to ignore. A coworker was dusting his station when my boss told him she needed to use his computer to check a file. He left to get more cleaner as she sat down. I had to get something next to his desk and when I walked over she had her foot bent at the toes so her sole was perpendicular to the floor and her shoe, the smooth arch completely stretched out.
Nothing new except near her foot, pointing toward her exposed arch was a feather that must have fallen off from the feather duster my coworker was using earlier. I froze for a second and contemplated the situation. Here is a a bare arch with a feather pointing at it as if to say go for it. But seeing as this was my married boss and we were in the workplace I felt discretion was the better part of valor and walked away. My coworker came back, saw the feather and tried to place it back on the duster while my boss went back in her office. I cursed my myself for being so safe but at the same time I felt "the juice wasn't worth the squeeze" to quote The Girl Next Door.
Would anyone else have made the same decision or acted differently? Has anyone else been in a similar type of situation?
