Shit's all sorts of different now.

as long as you stay away from the sweater vest, we're good

I've been looking for a cool black one. Or argyle.

Also, I can't get enough cable knit

ME EITHER!! I LOVE cable knit sweaters!

I have a new love going on. Denim trousers. I'm wearing them today and I swear to all that is Old Navy, if I could buy 30 more pairs of them, I would.

I'm wearing them with the aforementioned cable knit cardigan.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dude, I must sound like the youngest person in the world on the phone. Why do I make perfectly normal calls and ask perfectly professional questions and get people to say things like, "That'll be $75/hr including travel time, young lady." How young a lady am I, peeps?

...

Possibly it's to do with the fact that I keep using terms like "dude" and "peeps"? Although I didn't do that on the phone, I swear.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How young a lady am I, peeps?

Since I haven't seen you since the Chicago F2F, you're still that young.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Denim trousers--just a way to get around a no-jeans policy, whether implicit or explicit? Discuss.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had to give a subordinate a Talking To about her denim trousers, because of our no-jeans policy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When I first started here, it was a Business Casual dress code.

I have since changed that. I try not to wear jeans everyday, but I still do about once or twice a week.

The funny thing is, I miss having a Professional dress code. I seem to work better whilst wearing a suit.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm the only non-science person who wears jeans here almost every day.

I'm also the only one who can routinely be found in a bunny suit checking labels on hydrofluoric acid, so I feel like no one gives a crap. Sometimes I feel bad about it though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Totally a way to get around a no-jeans policy.

hip deep in pie

People joke at my new office that we have no casual day because every day is casual day.

Signed, wearing cords and sweater

This is my third day with no cell phone. It's a PITA. I hope it comes in the mail by tomorrow.

I was going to call the cable company yesterday to get rid of a couple of channels and get my DVR service going, and realized I had real way of doing that from home (no land line).
