Strix, it depends on the synogogue w/r/t sleeves. There's no requirement for women to cover their heads.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Monday. I hate you and all of your works.
Yes.
This morning I've been all "Blah blah blah Monday blah blah stock market plummets blah blah..."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Big, tough, and it makes everyone around you slow down.
That would be a hilarious car to buy for a 16 year old!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This morning I've been all "Blah blah blah Monday blah blah stock market plummets blah blah..."
I sold almost all my individual stocks last week. Muwahahaha!
I can't even get into T. Rowe Price's website this morning. There must be a million people all freaking out at once.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thanks, Sparky. I think I'll play it safe with sleeves, or wear a shrug or a cardigan. It'll be October, anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Strix dress code depends on the synagogue - do you know whether its reform, conservative, orthodox, or what? That'll narrow down what the requirements probably are. If the synagogue has a website they'll probably list any dress code requirements there. I wouldn't worry too much - guests are usually cut some slack.
I was thinking I just needed more sleep but today I feel like maybe I'm actually coming down with something. Maybe I will go home and eat Jell-o on the couch.

Monday. I hate you and all of your works.
I am dealing with an author who is the special-est snowflake to ever put words to paper. It's a fucking 1-page commentary, and he is fighting me on edits that were made so that his commentary is not vague. He says "I do not wish to explain something the reader can look up." THAT'S NOT HOW ARTICLES WORK.
We also have a policy to not use words that are kind of dramatic ("frighteningly, this policy leaves out..." or "the article laments that patients are not treated..."), because the senior management hates that shit and deletes it if we leave it in.
Special snowflake is all "This is an opinion piece -- MY opinion, my words, so leave 'frighteningly' and 'laments' in the paper!" So all I can do is explain that if I leave them in, senior management will probably take them out after the article leaves my hands.
He also commented "You are editing this as though it is a manuscript." SWEET JESUS YOU FOOL WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS???? By its definition, it is a manuscript.
He opened his last email to me with "This is becoming too much work." Seriously, dude? This is a ONE PAGE COMMENTARY. You think it's too much work for *you*??? I'm the one who has to deal with your stupid face.
He needs to die in all the fires. I was so over his shit last week when he told me it was "too hard" to review the PDF of his 1-page paper in Acrobat. STOP IT, EVIL HAND.

Oh, Steph... the continual horror that is other people. Can you kick it to senior management along with the email string showing that you tried? Your company ought to adopt the policy my company has apparently secretly adopted: Give them whatever they want so they'll shut up and be happy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This morning I've been all "Blah blah blah Monday blah blah stock market plummets blah blah..."
I spent a couple of days last week at a portfolio management convention. It was very useful really, and included some debates (for instance, "Australia is totes heading for a recession" versus "No, no, no, it'll only feel like one"). It also included the quote, from an American practitioner, "I think the greatest market failure during the Global Financial Crisis was that we couldn't find a way to put a single banker in jail for what happened."
