Maybe make half-caf on the weekend so you can drink more?

I drink half-caf on the regular, which is the sad part. Hence the idea of additional decaf on the weekend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Susan, there is nothing about this I don't love. THANK YOU.
Also, although I just about completely missed both events, I will TOTALLY make white-and-gold/blue-and-black decorated llama cookies next Feb. 26. It's traditional! As of right this minute.
I drink possibly too much coffee, but I love it so. We do keep a bit of decaf hidden away somewhere, because sometimes I want to bury myself in a mug of coffee at ten at night, when unbroken coffee is not really an option.
Also... very trivial help? I have to go to a work party tonight, to which I am not much looking forward except for the chance to dress up all fancy and wear a new corset and dance. But then my supervisor sent out an announcement yesterday afternoon that oh, by the way, the dress code is "business casual." Which the Internet is telling me means "conservative and in almost no way festive," and which just about kills off any desire I had to go (also, I don't think anything I own qualifies, except possibly the stuff I've already worn to work that everyone has seen a billion times). Except that I have to.
So, help? Natterers who actually go out into the world and interact with business-y people in business-y ways, what would you wear to a business casual party?

For a staff party at night on the weekend, I would take that as meaning you don't HAVE to dress up crazy formal, but I would assume at least some coworkers would dress up a fair amount. Basically, I think it means men will be in khakis and women will be in anything.

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

What kind of soulless micro-manager sends out memos about dress codes for a weekend party?

I'm now tempted to buy this llama cookie cutter.
Hm, business casual for a weekend party. Lame, first of all. Who wants to wear work-type clothes on the weekend? Make it either casual-casual so I can break out my geeky t-shirt collection, or go dressy so I can wear that cute little red dress I bought for the Harlequin party two years ago and haven't had an occasion for since, sheesh, people.
Keeping in mind that my office is so casual-casual that the majority of us wear jeans and it doesn't even have to be Blue Friday for it to be OK to show up in Seahawks gear, I'd probably wear nice pants, but with a shinier top and blingier accessories than I'd wear in daytime.

JZ - my one annual work party is officially business casual so people who don't want to get dressed up don't have to, but people generally do. Corset it up! No one is going to reprimand you for being too festive.
In general I think "business casual" is a lower limit, not an upper.
Heh. I just can't deal with extra caffeine. But I really like coffee!
This is exactly why I am transitioning to decaf! I'm actually out of regular coffee this morning, maybe I will try jumping straight to full decaf - if I get the telltale withdrawal headache I'll go buy more leaded.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
As it turned out, only one of the classes was cancelled last week, so we only had one class today. Still have to try to reschedule the other one.
