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.

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).

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Man, I miss having jeans Fridays. For people like me for whom every morning is a struggle to find something that fits/doesn't look like ass/isn't too dog haired or wrinkly, it made the whole week seem shorter and less stressful.

Why was I dumb enough to get out of bed this morning?
