It's getting long enough that I'm losing my curl, man.

A round of haircuts for my friends.

Oy, Emmett's got five baseball games in the next four days. That's a lot of time at the fields. Tournament final in San Ramon tonight. We're overdue for a tourney win. I hope we can pull one out tonight.

But right now he's watching a South Park episode with little goth kids.

That first outfit wouldn't be bad with a jacket and heels. I would think it would be fine for a casual Friday, but then, I'm in Texas.

Still. I don't think I'd argue it in quite that self entitled way.

Dress codes are a bit of a thing for me anyway. I have a craxy feminist theory that they are often used to bully women.

One of the things I love about my work. I set my dress code. Today it's denim shorts, a grey t-shirt and slip on Chuck Taylor low-top shoes.

Daisy- I actually agree that the outfit would be OK for casual Friday, and I also hate dresscodes, but the girl is still kinda twitty.

Don't let Ple hear it! She'll get righteous and wroth.

I would like to point out that in the 80s women were made to dress like clowns with big floppy bows at their necks. Dress for Success...in the circus!

Well sure, but there are often icky sexual connotations for women. Sometimes it's a good excuse for one group of women to gang up on another.

Wasn't that because we were trying to feminize business suits? Without looking like there might actually be a woman under there?

Utter twit. I frequently do go to work in jeans and a t-shirt, but I work in a very casual office in a position where I'm far more likely to be patching dusty A/V equipment together than interacting with clients.

I think that woman sounds bratty.

I mostly hear men bitching about how women can in fact wear T-shirts, or don't have to tuck their shirts in, and can wear capris when guys are stuck with long pants and at least polo shirts, tucked in.

I remember reading somewhere a woman's opinion that the dress codes were to prevent the younger women from flaunting body parts that might look better than the same on their female superiors.

Which is tinfoil hat talk to me.

I've never had to wear suits to work, which is great since I only have one, and it still has tags on. My first US job was suit and tie for the guys, and just shy of suits for the women. Next job had a very clearly delineated definition of business casual, and if you weren't paying attention you'd miss when they did stuff like allow you to wear open-toed shoes or sleeveless tops or no hose. We had jeans Friday for a little, and then they rescinded it. Which was pretty annoying, as free perks for people who never see the public go.

Today I am in jeans. Chances are good I'll intersect with a woman in flip flops today, but never a guy. One female co-worker is all suits, every day, as is my boss. So far I've been teased about what I wear, but it seems perfectly allowable for my position.

Why did I forget to pay my rent yesterday? Flake.
