my new collar arrived!!

it feels very nice and comfortable blobhaj_tiny_hearts

the design ended up quite simple and modest, I wasn't looking for anything more extravagant

@kitten maybe just try how it feels and observe how people react?
You can still stop wearing that pretty new collar to work if it doesn't feel good.

So far, people at work made fewer comments / took less notice of mine than in other parts of my life shrug

@kitten Also, ich war eh schon immer etwas seltsam aus Sicht meiner Kollegen.
Aber als ich vor 3 Jahren angefangen habe, immer mit Halsband rum zu rennen (das noch dazu abgeschlossen war damals), gab es beim ersten Mal maximal ein paar Blicke und danach hat es niemanden mehr interessiert.

(Ich bin so ungefähr 1mal im Monat im Büro für ein paar Stunden und sonst im Homeoffice)

@mira ​:neocat_think:​ I see. tbh that's probably what will happen to me as well

it's more the starting to wear it now rather than it being a thing they've always seen on me that makes me worry

@kitten Okay :)

Kann ich gut verstehen, war für mich am Anfang auch ungewohnt. Die ersten Male wo ich mit Halsband einkaufen gegangen bin, hab ich es unter einem Schal versteckt... Das hat aber zum Glück recht schnell nachgelassen.

@kitten @mira I'll just jump in here too.

Nobody really cared. I think once an apprentice in the year level above me made a comment about clipping a leash to it. Then I smirked at him and he immediately regretted it lol.

The airtag on my collar got way more attention tho

@LilaHexe @kitten Uff... I once was (with my mistress at that time) at a table tennis club, in order to try it out, and one of the old farts there said "Ich hab die passende Leine dafür zu hause", completly unprompted...

We never came back...
(Adding to the comment, we made it clear from the start, that we want to play for fun, and not in tournaments... and they tried everything to get us to join the team... )

@LilaHexe uuuh, those kinds of comments … giggles
( still waiting to get one of those again, just for a calculated: "oh sweetie, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into" smiles )
Sadly, no one ever said something notable while I was still wearing a rubber collar with a small bell to work/university (and even holding lectures/exercises a few times) neocat_floof_sad

Sounds like the same kind of folks who once asked a colleague and me if we were siblings … because we both had parts of our hair dyed blue …

Or like the colleague who once asked (rhetorically) "who would ever want to be put into cage?!" on the way back from lunch … turning around and smiling earned me an "okay … I'm excluding you from that question" neofox_floof_angel

@mira how does "Bezug" work in this sentence?

@kitten It means, that I refer or relate to something

"In Bezug zu meiner Arbeit" = "in relation to my work"

(Sorry can't come up with examples right now... head is a a bit dizzy)

Uh uh.

Und mich?

Probably not correct, but, well, I'm still interested.

@kitten as someone who wears a collar 24/7: nobody really cares, or at least they don't ever say it

@lunarood hehe ​:blobcatgiggle:​

that'd probably draw even more attention to it (specially since I'm always reaching for it)
