Buffy ,'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When I worked for the very straight laced, very old boys network real estate corp in downtown LA, I was told when I was hired that the dress code was professional. I had no idea what that meant and asked the VP that was hiring me what that meant. He replied, "I could never tell a woman what she could or could not wear."
I bought 7 pantsuits and called it good.
Speaking of dress codes at work, did you hear about the woman Citibank fired because she was too goodlooking?
The publisher where I used to work was small and family-owned (I think we had 80 people total on staff) and our dress code was insanely loose. I used to wear shorts in the summer, and one fall I wore overalls once a week.

Heh. That's what started the conversation.
Dress code varies a lot by city as well as industry. DC (when I temped there in the mid-90s) was very conservative - hose, no sandals, no sleeveless, skirts preferred over pants.
I started a little summer project in the Main library yesterday and was amused by how I was dressed (linen palazzo pants, sandals, linen fitted blouse) compared to the people in the department I had a project in (jeans and t-shirts). I'm in public service; it's a whole 'nother ball game. Annoyingly, librarians are still expected to wear suits for interviews, even though we never actually wear them to work.

Home. Going to lie down w/ cool cloth on head and wait for docs to call. Thanks for well wishes.

We're ostensibly business casual here, but people wear jeans, shorts, capri pants, and sandals all the time. Which I am grateful for.
Hope you feel better soon, smonster.

Well, skimmer. I thought that might be what started the conversation off, but I went back and couldn't find the beginning of this topic, just lots of talk about ita in denim skirts. Guess I didn't go back far enough!
