When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

We actually have a "business attire" dress code written by NY headquarters, but no one in SF follows it.

In fact, we just had a marketing guy out for meetings and the head of our office made a point of starting off by telling him that he really didn't need to be wearing a tie.

My attempts at cutting in by the ceiling using a sponge brush taped to a pole have failed. Back to drawing board....

I work with a guy like Tom's. I've never seen him not wearing shorts. And they are ratty ones at that.

The only times I wear jeans to work is when the weather sucks. The rest of the time, I'm in dressyish trousers and sweaters, tailored shirts or some other kind of dressy top. And usually heels. Except when I wear the sketchers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I work in the NY Headquarters (not megan's), and we're on the formal end of business casual (no suits, but khakis would be inappropriate), but the other half of the staff in Smaller Midwestern City are pretty casual most of the time, because of course it's the CEO that cares what we wear, and she's here in NY. No denim and no flip-flops are the two things that come up the most in conversation.

I'm being thwarted in my quest for bbq. Grrrrrrrrr.

Argh! That just reminded me I forgot to offer bbq as a lunch option to my parents! Ah well, we went a place I that I knew and everyone liked, so all was well.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What is the difference between a tailored suit and a non-tailored suit? Is "non-tailored" the same as "off the rack"?

I'm guessing they're getting at style there, as in a traditional look, though I'd be hard pressed to articulate the alternative.

They don't want people showing up in track suits?

Well, I guess I could kinda see for women, because I've seen some crazy "suits" out there...but men? I mean, that's not going to rule out crazy colors, which is the only crazy men's suit style I can think of...
