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.
I don't understand where they think all these people work, that they can wear shorts.
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.
-t, that outfit sounds lovely.
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.
Unless you're a postman.
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.
When I worked at AT&T Labs, there was a guy who wore shorts the entire year round.
Doesn't anyone remember the fad of wearing Bermuda shorts everywhere back in the early 1980s, in the midst of the preppy fad? I remember it being about 35 degrees out at a Friday night football game, and one of my classmates had Bermuda shorts, knit knee highs (tartan pattern, of course), penny loafers, and a Fair Isle sweater over a turtleneck. This was typical wear in 1982.
People in New York have a narrow view of fashion.
t What in the hell am I doing talking about fashion?
Cats are cute and fuzzy. They do hijinks, too.
Mine tried to bite my upper arm yet again this morning, so I kicked her off the bed and got ready for work.
