No dress code at work

As silly as it might sound, this is the best news I've gotten in the last couple of days.


You can put me in a room full of people I don't know and I'll be fine. You can drop me at a city centre in a foreign country and I'll find my way. But make me wear a suit and I'll feel like a caged bird.


It's simply one of the most unnatural and uncomfortable things imaginable for me. I wore it a couple of time simply because I had to. Weddings, choir championships and that's about it. I think the only other time I'd wear one would be if I would get married. And even then I'd probably hesitate and tell everyone to sod off 'cause it's my day!


A shirt and dark trousers are fine. I don't have a problem with that. But the "institution" of a tuxedo is just so horrible. The tie that chokes you to death, the shoes that make you sound like a boulevard bimbo and the sleeves that make you hook everything possible and crash it to the floor like a ton of bricks.


I just skyped with my officer K, who (luckily for me) informed me there's no dress code at the office whatsoever. I'm still grinning.


I don't know how you feel about it, but I'm just so glad to hear this. One less thing to carry around with me. Or I might just burn it.


This is as far as I could bear going in the suit-up direction

    1. To mora da je neki slang. Ja ti to ne znam...

      Uostalom, te tanke su jedino što ću staviti na sebe... Ever.

  4. Ni ja ne vidim palačinku!
    I ne znam, smiješno mi je npr kada normalni dečki čim završe fax i nađu neki ozbiljniji posao odmah naprasno uskaču u odijela kroja koji im ne pristaje sa nenaviklim stavom. Vidjela sam malo muškaraca da im baš stoje odijela, ova tvoja alternativa je puno prihvatljivija

    1. Ja bih pristao jedino na tako neke alternative. Dobio sam čak i komentare da bih trebao razmisliti o stilu odijevanja, jer mi ovo kao super stoji. Ali, kao što bi rekli moji budući sugrađani u Perthu: Yeeeeeeah, no.
