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!!!!!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!

Thanks, juliana. I had no idea.
I had no idea there was such a thing as "work shorts" either. Big learning day for me.
I have gone to interviews with wet hair, because I have a lot of hair and if it's humid out it can take hours to dry. But I always pull it into a really sever style and the wetness is not so noticeable.
For my interview tomorrow I think I have settled on off-white twin set (sleeveless top and unstructured jacket), black pants with white pin-dots, and black & white tweedy/stripey shoes with pink trim. Acceptable?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WORK SHORTS!! I don't understand where they think all these people work, that they can wear shorts.
That sounds lovely, -t.

They all work here at the Evil Software Empire. I've seen *waaaaaay* too many women wearing those "work shorts" things lately. With tank tops, crocheted sweaters, and flip-flop/thong sandals. And yes, they all stare confusedly at me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WORK SHORTS!!
Unless you're a postman.

Jilli, are they a better alternative to regular shorts? I mean, would crappy shorts be allowed? I still don't think there are that many jobs where you can wear shorts.

Thanks, Jesse (eta: and Jilli). I had a sudden attack of sartorial worry.
DH's boss wears shorts to work, but that's just a casual office and he just wears, you know, shorts. Not "work shorts", which put me in mind of the carhops on roller skates wearing shorts as part of their uniform.

OK, you got me there. I love the postman shorts.
All I'm saying is, (for the most part) there are jobs where you can wear shorts and jobs where you would want to wear a suit, and those jobs do not intersect.
