The good part about a home office: I'm wearing sweat pants, a sweat shirt and no shoes.
The bad part: No massages. No doughnuts. And the cleaning staff sucks.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still haven't come to terms with the fact that I don't dress up for work anymore. I don't have nearly enough clothes to wear casual every day. Luckily, I don't usually see the same people every day.

I actually prefer wearing suits and stuff, not sure why, but in jeans I don;t want to be at work, I want to be out doing my stuff. ok, that's most days anyway, but moreso in jeans.
Me too.
I would wear these if I could find sets that actually fit both top and bottom (and are relatively cheap). Inevitably if the top fits, the bottoms are too small and vice versa.
Don’t’ know what you consider cheap, but I’m a big fan of Jones New York. Their suits are separates, which is good for my weird body, and the styles are very classic. I still own my first JNY suit that I bought after college. A jacket and a bottom would run about $300, but if you hit Macy’s at the right time, you can do much better. They also do great plus sizes.
My office doesn’t really have a “dress code” per se, but I tend to wear suits. It’s academia, which is a bit more casual, but also administration. I take my cue from my boss, who almost always wears a suit or jacket and tie. If I don’t have meetings on Friday, I may dress down a little (and by that I mean a sweater instead of a jacket, or a more casual pant or skirt.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Wicked good news! Maybe I'll actually get to see it. Even better, maybe I'll know people in it.
Perkins is currently on her way to Ohio with a replenished supply of tamarind balls. She's probably halfway across Indiana by now.

I'm getting the pig!
Is South Bend half-way? That's where she was about 20 minutes ago.
And where'd she find the tamarind balls? Those were tasty.

A fruit market near me has them. I'm betting there are at least two other groceries near me that also carry them.
South Bend isn't quite halfway, but the additional 20 minutes would put her there.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
So, I remember someone complaining about the big stretched pig Web ads she was seeing. I'd like to add my vote (in the category GetThisOffMyScreenNow of the Year) for the little "hit the bug and win an iPod" ads. Or any that feature speedy little cockroaches crawling through the ad, and thus in the corner of my vision while I'm trying to read a page. Eeeuch.
