Socks with sandals is a MAJOR fashion offense and the fashion police will be all over you if you wear them together. When you bring up white, native clothes; well, my white native clothes at home will have to wait until the children move away... Confession of something I did that was "toolish". Our printer is on top of a lateral file at work because my roommate is also very tall. There was a jam, then I had to print envelopes, then cancel a job, so I had STOOD on her desk a few times. The following week the sunlight in the room was just right and I could see my FOOTPRINTS all over her desk!! Lets just say I REALLY cleaned her desktop and make sure I always wipe it off when I jump up there from now on. She never noticed, but if it was ME, I'd clean it off in front of ME so I would get the HINT. I could write a book on passive-aggressive.

It's just that I'm learning what a fashion sinner I am. Actually, I never did any of GL's list when I had a stable of programmers. But, the way I dress! Oy!

He doesn't listen. He insists upon carrying that Blackberry on his hip wherever he goes. Mumbles something about email and twitter, whatever those are.

Instead of black I use white native clothes when I have to go out. At home I wear native clothes again, which are extremely comfortable. Footwear is almost always slip ons or sandals without socks. Our climate permits that luxury. For the daily evening constitutional with the LOH, I wear track suit bottoms with a t-shirt and in cold season perhaps a jerk-in. Jogging shoes completes the ensemble. My corporate clothes are in mothballs just like I too am. About male fashion – I am in total bliss.

We have a boss that hates the alternate work schedule and is trying to take it away from anyone she can. Then yesterday word came from the TOP that we need to offer more flexibility in everyone's schedules so they will be more willing to cut back hours, saving jobs. The other was when one signed up a subordinate as an emergency contact for another brand new employee since she didn't know anyone to tell the daycare, without telling the new emergency contact first. The subordinate, new employee, and child hadn't even met yet. The boss that forced me to read technical manuals while copying technical manuals, rather than knit and watch the machine that it not jam. "Others could get jealous that you are knitting." Show them my paycheck. Nuf said. So Conrad, the question was How did YOU know that YOUR boss was a toolbag? You admitted to being such boss, but how did YOU know? Inquiring minds need to know. Maybe the word "toolbag" will be placed into the dictionary soon, perhaps you are starting something. Grey is the new black. Wear with brown shoes and belt. LOOK! A whole new wardrobe!

You had to bring this up. I also love that site, but I have a big admission - my boss is indeed a toolbag. And, worse, I'm self-employed. Damn it, Hoffman! You had to bring this up.
