I mentioned the meeting earlier today. I told my story ( read: I completely took over the meeting, explaining it again and pointed out that this has all been discussed before..) After I finished, everybody agreed with my solution ( again) and promised to follow up on this ( again). Hopefully my Angry Warrant Modus has helped and this will be the last time we discuss this topic..

You'd think the "wear pants" part would be self-correcting in the winter. It's apparently not We have to have this meeting quarterly. It was the first time I'd seen my boss lead the meeting while actually following dress code. She tends to wear... let's just say it's a good thing we don't actually meet taxpayers face-to-face. No dresses, skirts, or kilts at the IRS ? I had visions of an entire office full of people running around bottomless unless specifically ordered to wear something. No-pants Fridays! We're allowed to wear shorts/skirts/dresses if and only if they extend to 3 inches above the knee. We also need to keep shoulders/bellies/torsos/feet covered at all times I have a boss who figures if the number is divisible by three then the shorts are good enough. On one hand... one can see too much of one's boss. On the other hand, when the lady who used to be a stripper shows up in one of her 'fun' outfits our boss will cover for her. Instead of "nope go home too much shoulder not enough sleeves" it's "again? ok I have some spare shawls if anyone has a problem". 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (definitely a boy cat) walked up to the front door, but stopped when he saw me. Unfortunately he ran away and hid when I went outside and he wasn't amenable to being called over. But he looked fluffy. That’s too bad. He missed out on meeting a new friend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want that image) As for your pitch: it sounds like you will be performing a hair washing cycle: Wash, rinse, REPEAT Hopefully they will take your suggestion before it becomes a crisis 1 minute ago, TGP said: Meanwhile, pitch some of the useless junk?

Personally, I have always chosen repurposing: repurposing the office of the reorganizing genius into the storage room for the unwanted material. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the solution, simple and effective and hopefully now they will follow up on it. It will be their problem after all, but I can fix this and I can't stand it if I have to repeat myself over and over. I have hope.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working from home has benefits. Spoiler Truth be told, I made myself a promise 12.5 years ago when I started working from home that I would always wear pants while working. For the most part, I have kept that promise. I've broken it maybe a dozen times, and then only for a few minutes at a time, such as hearing my phone ring while getting dressed, and running to grab it holding my pants. 2 hours ago, haldir said: 30+ mins in I'm starting to see paws & a butt!!!!!

kristof65 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Oops. I just realized that I have no idea exactly what time my daughter gets home from school today, other than it's an early release day, and could be any minute now.... I wonder if I should look that up, or let her surprise me? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparrowMarie Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They never showed up yesterday, which may cause problems with our vacation. On one hand I'm glad because we still need to clean and move some furniture around but otherwise things are starting to look good. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
