Work took a hint and went casual dress for the foreseeable future. Today was just the day with enough bigwigs showing up that we had to get back into business mockery clothing. For fucksake, the whole concept of business casual may well scream "Try as little as possible". Are the suits going to give a fuck about anyone else not in a suit? NO. Are they going to stop from on high and deign to speak with any of the people who actually MAKE things work on a level they pretend to have transcended? NO.
These are people from the "Sales" world. That magical land of constant interpersonal fellating that thinks it can step heedless through whatever boundaries are put before it. Biff Lowman, you assholes. You all boil down to him eventually.
If I had three licks of sense, I'd be in a good shirt w/ sleeve garters on, vest, tie, pocketwatch, slacks, fedora, and boots of +3 facefucking.
Tomorrow, they are gone, and I go back to the uniform practicality of jeans and a black tshirt. Sandals because nothing here threatens my feet. Real shoes and boots close at hand in case I need to be FUN. The closest things we have to bigwigs on site are the kind who will stop to give even their temps the time of day, and they don't like dressing up either.
FUCK DRESS CODES!

I worked in a uniformed department that ran out of money when they hired my group, so they can't afford uniforms for any of us. But we still get the yearly $300 uniform allowance, which our boss told us not to spend on uniforms.
Nice!
I'm really hoping they stick with casual dress for a bit.
I realized yesterday that my business casual pants now all fit like tents thanks to weight loss, so I'm have to drop a good chunk on better fit stuff to look sharp again.
I work in my PJ's half the shift through...but then the trade-off is that I"m lonely and only have my dog for company once the whole house leaves for school and work.
I would probably put up with dresscodes again for a bit for some company and human IRL relations...but then I'd probably be back to wishing I was braless and in slippers.

I know for a fact people drink while doing this job...I have yet to do so, however...

:lol: This is where the power of not seeing the anonymous poster leaves all to the imagination--which is better than reality for sure in this case.
