CAP IT OFF

When I started working for my current company it was shirts and ties, shirts and ties must look like government well-to-dos. Good for us walking around like we’re all military types.

Then, it was….”well no one can see our sixty-five dollars shirts and ties, let’s dress business casual.” Yeah, I was all for it.

Well, then everyone got laid off. Everyone. The herd of lesbians? Gone. All the formal LPGA golf shirts, bye-bye.

So, then us “Left Behinders” just started wearing jeans and T-shirts. Nice ones, it’s not like I’m wearing my Hoist Bar Tee* to work. Not that anyone would notice, or care.

My boss dropped by and gave me a cap with our branch of the military’s logo on it. Cool hu? I joked that I was going to start wearing caps to work, her response was one of you could wear a rubber glove on your head and run around screaming “I’m a chicken – I’m a chicken” and she wouldn’t care. So today, I’m wearing a baseball cap at work. Now the only reason I bring this up is because I feel weird. Maybe I’ve been in human resources so long somehow it’s just not right. Like cutting that rats nest out of Kate Gosselin's hair.

So, I think this goes in the I’m getting old file. That fact that I won’t wear baseball caps or leather bar T-shirts to work. Who knew?

*Google it, I dare you.

  2. Right, so I googled 'hoist bar' and came to two conclusions:

    1. I wanna go there - bad.
    2. You should come to work following the SBN night dress code!

    Let me know how that goes.

  4. Our place has done this in reverse recently. It was originally very stuffy, but over the years it turned into jeans and casual shirts. This last week, a new manager, and we're back to formal business suits. Personally I think it's great - you don't have to think in the morning which means a few extra minutes in bed.
    No ever turned up in fetish gear to my knowledge. Shame.

  5. I wonder how far the dress code bar will fall... cutoffs and flipflops?

  6. I wear a cap every day on my way to work and one morning I totally forgot to remove it. It drove one of my co-worker crazy to the point that he printed the Dress Code Do's and Don'ts to show me caps were not appropriate. I still waited until half way through the morning to take it off after that...
