Take Off Your Pants and Jacket

One day I was walking in the house after work and Nate asks,"Is this casual Thursday or something," referring to the fact that I was wearing shorts and flip flops that day. I explained, as I do to everyone, that one of the great things about my job is that I can wear anything I want as long as I don't have a client meeting scheduled.

Today Richter took it a bit further. They called us all into a meeting and announced that for the next month we are not allowed to wear long pants or we will be fined. Yes, that's right, I must wear shorts, or a skirt, or a dress to work or I will be fined. The reason you ask. Well because it's hot, and it will help us to be more creative. To push this even further, they are going to purchase a pair of shorts for all of us. We just need to buy them and expense them. They have even issued a press release to the media about this (if it gets picked up I will link it).

Oh I love my job and everyone knows it. However, even I have to admit we get a little bit crazy. It is nice to work in an environment that encourages creativity and out of the box thinking.

On another note, I had a dream last night that I went back to Datamark. It had completely changed and people worked in big groups in different rooms. I spent the day checking in on everyone else's group because I did not want to go work with my team. Me and my therapist will be discussing this week.


... So since I originally posted this blog, the Trib is coming in to take a picture of us on in our shorts on Thursday. PR is a wonderful thing.
