Lessee... this week we've got some programmers out visiting
from another company that we're doing a joint project with,
and the email about dress for their visit went like:
"
You don't need to dress business casual, but try not to
be too sloppy, ok?" Man, I like where I work.
That said, I wear jeans and turtlenecks a lot. In the
summer, I wear more tshirts. I have two stacks of tshirts,
ones I'll wear to the office (plain, computer related, etc)
and ones I won't (Betty Page, "Dealing With Users" (an
O'Really shirt), "Sleeps well with others"). I've been
known to wear my "Christianity is Stupid" shirt to Village
Inn on Sunday mornings when they're full of churchgoers.
On the other hand, I'm slowly developping a taste for cute
little cotton dresses and slowly building a collection of
interviewing clothes (silk pants and skirts and jackets and
so on). And in my other life, I wear a wide assortment of
medieval and renaissance clothing (funny, a lot of that's
silk too), from tunic and pants to cotehardie to late
Italian ren.
Geek is who you are, not what you wear.
