Why was I dumb enough to get out of bed this morning?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I rarely wear jeans to work. Pretty much only when the weather sucks really bad or I'm going to be crawling around on the (feelthy) floor dealing with cables. That adds up to maybe 4 times a year. I'll probably wear some tomorrow, since I'll again be walking from the mechanic's to work, and damned, that was cold in dress slacks.
There is effectively no dress code here.

It's snowing at lisah's house. Or it was until 30 seconds ago.
Not snowing in Fells Point.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Meh. My sinuses suddenly decided to attack the inside of my face.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Here neither, although I haven't tried pushing it as far as "naked."

There doesn't seem to be a dress code here. The partners all wear jeans unless they have client meetings (which are almost always out of the office). I am wearing nice jeans right now. AND a cardigan (wool, pearl buttons, sky blue). and boots. I usually wear sneakers on Friday to make it my own casual day.

Ah, good times, good times.
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.
Dude, I am right there with you. Dog hair is so abundant as to make it look like I've been taken over by a cabal of wild affectionate half-wolves.
We got away with the whole denim trousers thing for years. The secret is, black denim. Few people care enough to look closely and note they're not actually slacks.
However, you can all hate me, because today I am at home working and therefore in a green sweatshirt, blue flannel pj bottoms with dragons on them, and fuzzy shearling slippers. Turns out I'll have to change to go out to the house, but maybe not until three or four o'clock.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's a dress code in my office, which seems unfair, because we hardly ever see clients. Jeans Friday have become a ridiculous treat for me. I get very excited that half of my clothing has already been decided.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I sometimes wear pants on Fridays. That's exciting, right?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I hate "Jeans Friday". I got a whole rant about it.
Not that I hate wearing jeans, or prefer to wear Bus. Casual or Full On Business Samurai Drag or anything. I prefer jeans.
But "Jeans Friday" grates.
