How do you guys get dressed for work? (minus two points to anyone who says "one leg at a time.") Do you pick your clothes out the night before? Do you wait and see what you feel like when you wake up?

I have a vague idea of what I'm going to be wearing every day ahead of time, although it depends on factors like weather, whatever happens to be clean and/or ironed, and if I plan to do any significant walking or shopping during the day.

I pull out clothes for Noah the night before (because mornings are a mad scramble against the clock) but I rarely get around to pulling stuff out for me. I'm weather dependent.

I normally get dressed in the dark, trying to make choices based on the expected temp in the office, not the actual weather (stooopid office). Packing for the next three days - I think I have 5 or 6 outfits cause who knows what I'm going to be in the mood to wear and if I go into our Sacramento office, they are dressy. I'm used to wearing jeans to work. Not that I do every day, but I can when I want.

I try to figure out if I have clean clothes the night before, and sometimes end up doing a late night load of laundry. On Tuesdays I wear something comfy becuase of class (although today I'm wearing very uncomfortable underwear and it's making the day seem slower). I usually iron in the mornings because I procrastinate.

I wear jeans every day and grab what strikes me in the morning in terms of tops and shoes. IOClothesN, my bluefly package just arrived! I want to try it on now!!!

Deciding what to wear every day is a major hurdle for me. If I can decide in advance, I do - I've known what I would wear today all week, as I got some new pants that I know what shirt will go with. That's the best part of not working - on the days when I look at the closet and want to cry because there's nothing in there that fits or goes with anything else or is appropriate to what I have planned, I can just stay in my robe another hour, or throw on sweatpants or a caftan or something that signifies I don't care what I look like. It's comforting.

I found it much easier to dress in the mornings when I had to wear suits every day.

There are such things as dumb questions and here is one!

I am trying to figure out the naming conventions of quarterback, halfback (tailback), fullback....obviously they are named as such because they are in the backfield. But why the fractional names?

I'm having a vague memory of field hockey position names being tied to the starting position on the field, but American football is the game of the devil, so who knows?

Wikipedia includes this tidbit:

In the early part of the 20th century, when most teams employed the 2-3-5 formation, the row of three players were called halfbacks.

So, in soccer, the halfback is halfway back on the field and the fullbacks are all the way back? And I don't know where a quarterback would start, but if it's a little back from the centerfield line, that would make logical sense?
