Diary of a London Rollergirl
Episode 2 – Slice Andice v Corporate Whore

It’s official…. The derby powers that be have decreed my nom de…ah…rollerskate is acceptable. Slice Andice is now a registered Rollergirl on the official/unofficial global listings. I’m bonafide! Look!

*does happy dance*

My skater alter ego becoming official has led me to ponder on the differences between my daytime and nightime personalities. You know, the one I bring home to your mother and the five or six your mother warned you about.

Step one I guess is to admit that I actually have multiple personalities.

So, ah…hi, my name is Slice Andice and I am somewhat of a nut-job.

There.

By day I am Corporate Whore. People often look at me strangely when I tell them what I do. Mostly because when I meet people outside of the office there’s usually a tattoo or two proudly on display and my behaviour is all but business like. Mostly I get ‘you do what?’ accompanied by raised eyebrows and a disbelieving stare.

Of course after watching me delight in the simplicity of twirling in my circle skirts, or spending an hour poking my own bruises and scrunching my face at the hurt, you’d probably think the same.

In the office is a different story. Between the hours of 9 and 5, when I’m at [bitchass] head office, you can usually find me cramped in a corner somewhere (hotdesking sucks), quietly working away. I am a picture of professionalism. Immaculate grooming, coupled with crisp business shirts, pressed trousers and shiny shoes. I even have a pinstripe suit for those special days. I’m ever so polite, and say things like ‘fudge’ while pretending that I’m just like the boring people I work for.

Slice on the other hand swears like a trooper, slams into other females on purpose, and often looks like she got dressed in the dark.

All that being said though, both Slice Andice & Corporate Whore are way cuter, and more fun than early evening University Science Nerd…

OMG! Isn’t it the greatest feeling in the world to look at the list and see the name you worked so hard to come up with resting there with? When I am having a particularly rough day in the corporate world, I will pull up the list, just to see Calamity Wren there and feel better! :) Congrats, Slice!

Thanks Calamity,

I think we all check out the database more often than we care to admit *LOL*

Slice.

I had to stop telling clients that I play roller derby, because sometimes they use it against me (I.E….she is too aggresive!).
