My favorite cupcake is yellow cake with chocolate frosting, so I'm no help, but I'm pretty sure a recent Woman's Day or something had a big cupcake story, unless my mother's just hanging on to old magazines (which is always possible).
I have no indication that the temperature here varies significantly with the temperature outside, so I can't see my clothing varying too much.
Yeah, it does seem kind of stupid to dress for summer and then come in and put a sweater on top of it, but my commute has me outside long enough that I need to dress for that, too! Mostly I wish they would turn the a/c down.
I work at a Weil competitor
Ha! No you don't! Not Weil publishing, but Weil the law firm.
But next week we have our rep from your company coming by to show us changes to the online product - we'll see if he's in a suit.
eta: Oh, msbelle.
eta2: Speaking of legal publishers- SuziQ, I will be in Denver next month and ready, willing and able to run away from my work obligations if you're around!
But *actually* physically HIT? I know you said they were insane, but DAMN.
Most of
NINE YEARS.
Obviously I was crazy too. The really crazy one tried to Facebook friend me the other day. Sure honey. All over that. In a hot second. My sister asked if FB had a "Fuck Off" button.
In my department, jeans without holes and a shirt without stains is considered dressed enough for teaching.
I think my sister might teach in shorts. Yet, apparently corporate Jamaica is sufficiently conservative that women in red suits is a no-no.
he tried to run out of the school building.
Ah, damn, msbelle. Do you know what triggered it?
Mostly I wish they would turn the a/c down.
God, me too. Last job I went on a big binge of really cute shirts with short sleeves that I can now only wear with a cardigan. What a waste of puffed sleeves...
Completely unrelatedly...coolest geek on TV? I'm biased by my overweening current crush, but Alec Hardison? What's his competition? Chuck Bartowski? Sam Winchester (but he's a bit busy being...other things)?
Hardison, and the others don't even come close, geekwise.
Here's the summer dress code for one of the Big Law firms (NY office): [link]
That looks...utterly reasonable and pretty close to my firm. I was kind of expecting that link to be to one of the crazy ones. (I remember when a friend worked at Arthur Andersen - remember them - and they had heel height and skirt length specified, skirt suits only for women, skirt and jacket had to match, mandatory hose, yadda. Didn't help, apparently.)
I've definitely taught in shorts before. The past few years, though, I've always been in buildings where they keep the air conditioning ridiculously cold, so jeans even when it's 90 outside.
Speaking of puffed sleeves, is there an age limit? I like them on me, and I'm a not-at-all-girlish 37. But then I started thinking, when will I feel obligated to stop?
