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.
Yeehaw! I'm freeeeee! Of the QA assignment at least.
I'm going into a major, major project that will need overtime and stuff. But at least it's working on an application that I know a lot about programming, and can work on neat code and solve problems and do work I actually find kind of fun....
IME, Washington DC is not a flip-flop city. It's not even a bare legs or toes city. When I was temping there (okay, 12 years ago, maybe it's modernized?) I was told that for the first day I should always wear a skirt, and then look to see if any women were wearing pants; if they did I could.
I also recently heard someone here (NC) dismissing a job interviewee who came to the interview in flip flops and with wet hair, although otherwise well dressed.
These kids today!
My 84 year old Mom is visiting a friend in NY in July. The friend told her not to wear shorts - Capris are OK but not regular shorts for NY. Is this true? Shorts mark her as tourist?
If you're 84 years old, you can wear whatever the hell you want in NY.
AUgh!
84 year old Moms in pink flip-flops and Capris. Mea maxima culpa!
When will the punishment end?
The only thing with wearing shorts while doing touristy things, regardless of your age, is if you're going to be popping in and out of air-conditioned interiors. You can get really cold inside, and have to go outside to feel comfortable again. Capris would be a good alternative.
Yeah, who gives a shit? I doubt she's going to be actively avoiding looking like a tourist the rest of the time, you know? Edit: My point is, your mom should wear whatever she wants!
Crop pants. Racks and racks and racks of them. Does no one wear actual pants any more?
Last time I went shopping, all I could see were WORK SHORTS. WORK. SHORTS. GAH!!!
It is shocking how empty Wall Street is at 6:30, compared to 5:30.
All of you people who are putting 80> people in shorts should go somewhere and spank something that is < 80.
Here is my firm rule. 80? No shorts.
Oh, look! It's 6:40 and I'm leaving work! Before 7! Did I mention that I'm leaving work now and it's not even 7pm let along 9 or 10? WooHoo!!!!!

My grandmother looked cute in shorts in her 80s. Although she hates them, so I think she's stopped wearing them. But she still has great legs!
