Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Hec, Deb and Nic!
What gets me is the women in my lab who wear flip-flops or sandals to work. First of all, it's a lab! Aren't they afraid that some chemical or culture might fall and splash on their exposed feet? Second, the lab's AC is set on "meat locker". You'd think their feet would get cold...
Happy Birthdays Hec, Deb and Mr. Deb!!!
Also, I hate the feeling of flip-flops, but could probably where them to work. We have a weird dress "code" because we are a University. Usually the administrative assistants are expected to dress much better than the professors and Deans are!
Once I went againt the JC Penny dress code and wore open toes shoes. And dropped a gazillion pound crystal clock on my foot!. I wanted to wear combat boots after that! Man that hurt! The weirdest think about that dress code was that you were supposed to wear a camisole under your blouse. I think it was written in 1982 when blouses were those sheer polyester thiks with tucks down the front and ruffles. And for some reason people didn't want their bras to show through. I figure, at least you are wearing one!
t wore a dashiki and linen draw-stings to work and no one cared, because my math was right
Wireless on the BUS??? My, I live in hicktown. Wait--what's a bus?
You know what's better than one frustrating person? Two frustrating people frustrating each other.
Especially when the resolution is the one you were rooting for.
People wear what they like to our office, which encompasses a lot. Today we had a little baby giftie thing for a woman 8 months pregnant who is starting on maternity leave, and she was wearing a David Bowie shirt. Also in the room were people in such things as: jeans, sundresses, t-shirt and board shorts, red peasant blouse, and a knitted shell and dress pants. I love working in post-production.

When I was in HS (in the blessed 80s) it was mortifying if your bra showed in
any way.
At least in suburban New Jersey.
Funny how twenty years later, if your bra ISN'T showing, you are dowdy and out of fashion. @@

Hm. I remember wearing lingerie as outerwear in the 80s. Though I guess the flashdance off-the-shoulder look was usualy braless.
I hate myself for asking this. What are "board shorts"? 'Cuz I am getting an unpretty image.
Board shorts are swim suits surfers wear.
