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.

How young a lady am I, peeps?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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).

I'm trying to upgrade my wardrobe so that I only wear jeans to work on Friday - but yet - what am I wearing today? I need new clothes. Shopping this weekend only garnered me two new shirts and a pair of shoes.
