Blame synecdoche, yesno.  It's just so darn easy to scapegoat garments instead of what's inside them.  After all, they can't fight back.

I always do, you flamingos.

My main objection to Office Casual Culture is not that people choose to wear clothes that I personally don't like or that people want to be comfortable--those things are fine.  It's the blurring of the distinction between "work" and "fun" that I think is bad, because it inevitably leads to Blackberry slavery and related ills.

I wear jeans to work and work at a company with at least 500 employees. It's work + fun and it's pretty fantastic.

I just hate the "since work is fun, surely you'll welcome all this extra unpaid work" mentality I've encountered before.

I wonder why we have trouble competing in the global marketplace?

South Africa and Australia might as well be Europe, so just say "We have offices in Europe."

We have offices in Europe, too.

I'm allowed to be naked at work, but only while changing/showering in the fitness center.

Why do I get annoyed by photos of people smiling at parties holding Solo cups in their hands?  Am I insane?

I hate that I can't make the FOT gathering. If I would have had a few months notice I might have pulled it off.

My toilet backed up and the hardware store only has bad, unhelpful plungers. My roomate is out of town. And I think I am sick. Today sucks it.

I hate working in post production.  Could anything go right ever?
