fun to mess with his head The best thing about working in a "business casual" environment are the days you decide to dress up a bit. Whether it be a full suit or simply a pair of slacks paired with a smart shirt and tie.

This will normally throw everyone off.

There are a few typical thoughts that run through your fellow cube farmee's minds as they see you show up looking all spiffy:

1) Somebody died and you have to go to a funeral

2) For whatever illicit reason, you have a court date

and my personal favorite, the most jumped to conclusion (especially from a management perspective)

3) You have an interview scheduled

You simply can't show up to a "business casual" work place all pimped out without raising a few suspicions.

So I think once it cools down a bit more, possibly during the entire month of October, I will "dress to impress". Not that I really need to impress anyone, nor am I planning on a massive interview strike, but it will be fun and entertaining to watch my boss sweat for no apparent reason.

Besides, I recently bought a new suit and I think it's feeling neglected sitting all alone in a suit bag hanging in the closet.  ¶ 5:12 PM
