I've sat through a conference call in the office with no pants on.
Well, that I do a lot.
I might have been wearing a skirt or dress at the time, but why play with details?
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That doesn't count, at all.

I guess I'm just not as freaky as you, then.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I've never taken my pants off at work. I've gone commando to work (actually, am commando right now -- MUST DO LAUNDRY) and one I had to wiggle into my car through an open window, and the wind blew my skirt up, exposing my panties and garters clad ass to anyone in the staff parking lot for a good 45 seconds while I wiggled and cussed.
But never taken my clothes off at work.
Huh.
I have talked to a lot of potential employers on the phone butt-naked, though.

I work in an open-plan office. Sadly, this requires the wearing of pants at all times.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel all risque if I take my shoes off while at work.

I think I would rather be topless than pantless at work right now. Hygiene, plus I have a giant coffee stain right over my sternum.

I'd feel bad. My feet have the STANK. It's my dad's fault; I got the stankfoot from him.

I'd suggest Hil's email.
Heh. Actually, a mathematician might just complicate things. Different systems. It's an time vs degrees issues and while I know that it's correct instinctively, I can't articulate it very well. Also, IT'S BEEN THIS WAY 15 YEARS. If it was a problem, I think it would have been noticed before now. Not to mention things would be broken!

In an unparalleled technical collaboration, a team of artists, writers, engineers, literary scholars, and freethinkers are creating a lifelike, android portrait of one of America's well-known science-fiction writers Philip K Dick. The robot will be featured at WIRED magazine's NextFest, June 25-27, 2005.
The robot will portray Dick in both form and intellect through an artificial-intelligence-driven personality. The hardware will manipulate Hanson's proprietary lifelike skin material to affect extremely realistic expressions with very low power. Cameras in the eyes will allow the robot to perceive people's identity and behavior through advanced machine vision and biometric-identification software. The robot will track faces, perceive facial expressions, and recognize people from the crowd (family, friends, celebrities, etc).
The visual data will be fused with some of the best speech recognition software, advanced natural language processing, and speech synthesis in the world. All of this will run in sync with Hanson Robotics' highly expressive robot face to emulate a full human-conversational system.
