I would definitely turn down a job for a restrictive dress code. But then, half the time I work in my pjs, and the rest of the time I wear black band t-shirts. And I think I'd fit in better if I dyed my hair green. So I'm pretty lucky. Admittedly I do have to conservative up for fundraising, but that mostly means lots of nice clean line linen dresses, which I buy for 50 cents at the thrift shop.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Help me, Hivemind: what's another word for "unconfigure"?

Because books.
Deconstruct?

Hmmm. It probably won't work in this context. The writer is talking about removing the current configuration of a program and then reconfiguring it. I think I'm going to hand the topic back to them and tell them to stop copying the mail from the dev word-for-word.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
revert? restore?

I guess I'm just old school. I've always worn suits to work. I don't really mind pantyhose. But that's probably because I've (almost) always driven to work and worked in airconditioned offices. the one time I took the train every day, it was London, so more often than not, you were grateful for the hose. My law firm went to business casual one summer and never went back. Also, I think that part of my not minding suits and hose is that, as a minority female, wearing a suit separates me from staff. Not that there's anything wrong with being staff, but it keeps me from having to say things like "motherfucker, I am licensed to practice law. If you need a copy, make it your damn self."
Wait, on second thought, it doesn't stop it from happening, it just makes it less likely.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If they're going back to defaults, I agree with "revert."

Yeah, that's one of the options I'm going to suggest. Thank you, Hivemind!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't think there is a dress code at my workplace, though I tend to go with "less casual than what I'd wear at home on the weekend". I'm still boggled by the people who wear flip-flops/sandals/ open toed shoes. People, this is a lab. There are chemicals and glass items all over the place. Exposing your toes here seems like a bad idea to me.
