And now that you have done it once... I am sure you will do it many more times. But use your "fart" to your advantage... "Well Supervisor please note that I am being conscientious of the carpeting... and trying to save this company money." (Of course then you will have to wipe the brown from your nose!)

Every village I've lived in Alaska is like this. In fact, most homes at least in the rural areas have an "Arctic Room", you go through before you go into the actual house. ANYWAY, when we fly back every year to see our family in the real world, it's still a habit. I cringe everytime I walk on carpet with my shoes on now. People look at me funny too. Oh well. Old habits die hard.

We have to do the exact same thing at Mr. Cheek's school. A few weeks ago, they were having a party for the director who was taking a new position. I went in and picked my kid up, kicking off my shoes at the door. I got him and then I started walking down to the greeting space of the church, and about halfway there I realized I never put my shoes back on. It's sad, but I make shoe choices in the morning based on how easy they are to get off. I hate those booties. They don't even put them out for me anymore, just TP.
