    Re: work wear

    Nice pants, polo shirt in the heat, long sleeve button down in the cold. Decent dress shoes. That's it. When I started in this god awful business, we wore dress slacks, long sleeve shirts, tie, dress shoes, and in the winter we had to wear a sport coat or suit. Glad those days are gone. Customers always ask, "why do you dress that way?". We were told to respond " because we are professionals". That was a crock of s***.

You remember that Sel-Drum Test Sheet? It didn't even jam.

        If you're going to try this, I recommend removing the tie first. =^..^=
        Since I do not do outside calls any more ... I wear Black Rustler jeans and just polo's or regular button-up nice shirts.
        YEP, clean socks and underwear too!

        Back in the day when we were REQUIRED to wear a tie ... SOP was setting your large shears on top of the copier / Printer / typewriter / mimeo / etc where you could get to them quickly.
        It really was great for us when the clip-on tie was accepted by our company.......

          You're suppose to wear clothes? hmmm That might explain a few things.
          I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

            When I look at some of the members of my team, I'm very grateful that clothes are compulsory, I'm sure they all feel the same way about me too

                      Heh, back in the day when we had to wear white shirts and dark blazers, people sometimes said we looked like morticians.

                        This is the uniform of the day. Sometimes I get really wild and wear a dark blue shirt instead of black

                                That's for the cell phone. I keep my gun in the car most of the time.
