Clothing

It's interesting the changes in clothing I've seen since I started working.

When I first started working for my dad, I wore a jacket and tie every day. The next company I worked at, I didn't generally wear a jacket, but always had a tie. The first computer company I worked at was collared shirt, often a tie, sometimes jacket as well. After that, in the last 20 or so years, it's gone to chinos and collared shirt, and in the last five years, jeans and a collared long-sleeved shirt, with a branded golf shirt once or twice a week. 

Since last year, it's been jeans and golf shirt in winter, and shorts and golf shirt in summer; of course I work from home now, but even so, I suspect I might even wear shorts in to the office if I went in. Weather wise, I have worn long pants maybe three times since September last year; they're too hot in summer now. 

I bet I dress a lot more formally than most of my colleagues do when working from home...

while teaching as a grad student at our local uni, Brian started up a thing among his math department of anti-casual Friday. they'd just wear t-shirts or whatever Mon-Thu. then Fri, they dressed in full suit and ties, lol!!

We've done something similar - one day we all dressed smartly, and scared the hell out of our boss. He thought we were all going for job interviews...

he said that they have it up to six guys one week.

and omg, I read that to Brian, and we both laughed heartily. XD that must have been hysterical.

We didn't say a thing, and denied there was anything going on...

How do you dress less formally than shorts and a golf shirt? Pyjamas? Birthday suit? :D

T-shirt and boxer shorts, or pyjamas. :)
