Now I'm even more curious about the dress code. No thongs? No removing your shoes when you're at your desk?

In other news, I find I have less to say online lately because, frankly, I'm happier. Apparently I spend most of my online time bitching. So, I'll have to work on finding other things to say. Because I'm pretty freaking happy most of the time. It's pretty bizarre.

I'm wondering if dress code is like what we have rockin' at my 120+ y.o. company. Though it is now okay for certain departments to skirt the "rules", I can only skirt it on Fridays, and cannot skirt it as far as other departments.

Despite being in a cube, let's just say I'm all buttoned-down and suited-up most days... suited up depending on who may or may not be roaming the office hallways.

Today is lax to the extreme as just about everyone is out of the office. I am wearing corduroys

It's not explicitly written, but the peer pressure is certainly there, and the added steps are a part of my department's culture. So only enforceable in that "societal norms" sort of way.

Hmm, but you did say enforceable dress code... we have a dress code that is in writing here, but the additional steps are those taken upon by my relatively conservative department.

We have a very strict dress code here at the office: you must come dressed. I guess my co workers were none too happy with me when I kept showing up naked.

Actually, most days, I wear jeans and a casual shirt. If I know someone is coming in (interview, etc.), I will wear slacks and a dress-casual shirt.

When it rains, it pours.
Not only do I have one great guy who has his eye on me but there's now a second one. They're both nice. If it came down to it, it would be a tough choice.

Two of the most luscious looking, HUGE fresh picked about an hour ago, artichokes are mine. We have a client that we did the plant patent for this variety. He goes and picks some and delivers a few boxes every year. Today was the day and artichokes, it's what's for dinner! YUM

I just got cast in the Orlando Shakespeare Theater winter rep season - I'll be appearing in Midsummer Night's Dream (as Egeus) and Pride and Prejudice (as Mr. Gardiner and various ensemble bits)- they'll be paying me and everything!

Both shows open late January and run through February and March, in case any of you are in the C. Florida area at that time.

Time to brush up my Shakespeare!
