Anyone have to wear a suit to work?
Doesn't that really suck? I had a job -- had it 11 months -- where I had to wear suit and tie to the job every freaking day. It drove me nuts. Especially considering that I had just one suit, plus a very bad spare!

3. I used to...
...I worked it by having extra slacks and a Jacket or two to mix and match. What gets me is that men's suit jackets have gone back to three buttons. When they were two buttons I had some thrift store finds that were three.
I have one suit now. Dark for Funerals, marriages, and other events...
that seem to call for a suit.

5. Now, when I have to do it--somewhat rarely--I enjoy it
But EVERY DAY? Man, that gets fucking old quick.

6. My org forces us to wear 'business casual'
I dig ties so I'll wear them.

But with PC support and getting dirty, it's a bit dumb and the co-workers have complained. I dunno. The way my org is heading, it doesn't matter how good of a job I do or how well I conform...

I dunno. The future can't be predicted. I only hope I'll be a long-time employee there, but as they refuse to take advantage of the people working there and let them do other things...
