I don't think we have a policy on sleeves, per se. We might have a policy on logos, but I'm not sure. It's a vague dress code, at best.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Just, it's a physical highly public job. If you want to impress, hiking shoes and clean pants and any kind of top (be dressy! it's an interview!). Look sporty in something athletic that says "hey, I'm physical". Don't go ultra office wear because it's not that sort of job, and wearing high heels shows ignorance because we're going to take you on a tour of the grounds, not lawn aeration. But to look like you're going to the beach? Do you even want the job?

The rule I've heard is to dress like you've already got the job--which presumes you know what the job is, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FFS. If I had been even slightly more effective at work earlier this week, I would not have been there until 7 tonight. But I wasn't, so I was. And I have a little to do tomorrow. But still: Vacation!

I've been sooper effective and there still aren't hours in the day tomorrow to get everything done before I disappear for a week. And I kicked off a project that needs handholding. BUT if they handhold it right, they might be able to finish it for me while I'm gone. Woo!
Maria, the PIP is complete ass covering bullshit and everyone knows it. Ugh.
Laundrating, bed,asking, starting to pack. Well, once the laundry is done. And then I find out how much of my summer not work clothes are still presentable. I'd like to at least be wearing things without holes in them.

Oy, Maria, Sorry for the bullshit.
I need to pack tomorrow for vacation. We have a medical test for Grace tomorrow, which Katie is going to, then I have to pull all of our shit together to leave. Among the things we are packing? Pool noodles! Cheese! Prosecco!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I wish I was within arm's reach, Maria. I'd like to beat your boss stoutly about the head and shoulders. Same goes for Steph's boss.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Maria and Steph, you both deserve bosses who appreciate how awesome you are.
In other news, someone set up a crowdfunding campaign to bail out Greece.

A million euros in three days. Nifty.
I like the sound of your Things to Pack, Kat!

I have a nearly full bottle of vermouth to get through before I move. What are some cocktails I should make with it?
