They do have to look competent and even their choice of colours or patterns can affect how they are perceived as artists, dancers or writers.<br /><br /><a href="http://astutepromotion.livejournal.com/1823.html" rel="nofollow">Sherita @ Astute Promotions</a>Sheritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382779350231550619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-22396393370484059062015-05-14T12:00:35.703-04:002015-05-14T12:00:35.703-04:00Sticky situation gumming up the worksSticky situation gumming up the worksCliff Lettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824271347133632569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-32040298013470254112015-05-14T09:14:37.399-04:002015-05-14T09:14:37.399-04:00Probably that's why Linda's staid law firm...Probably that's why Linda's staid law firm didn't allow pants. Half inside out makes it hard to escape in case of fire. But I'm surprised that chewing gum was allowed, aren't you?

I live by myself, so no one raises eyebrows, snorts or points at me and says "really?" anymore. Maybe I need someone to do that and I'd dress to impress more. I went from working at the ad agency where anything goes to a staid law firm where women had to wear skirt suits (no pants allowed) and the attorneys were chastised if they went to the convenience store on the 1st floor for a pack of gum without their suit jacket on. Then to working just with Robb where all that was needed was nimble fingers attached to the end of the keyboard - no dress code whatsoever. I've become sooooooooo lazy re: dressing up. The dilemma with the Winter coat and mittens - it was 45 degrees when I left for a walk this morning - I still have not taken the Winter coats/woolens to the cleaners yet - it is Michigan after all, where you have your furnace on in the a.m. and the A/C on in the p.m. I hesitated and could not bear to go back to them so opted to freeze instead.Linda Schaubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101100994610518373.post-42789482540860593962015-05-13T11:10:41.522-04:002015-05-13T11:10:41.522-04:00I fully understand your dilemma.

Having spoken with a neurological expert on your condition we agree that you suffer from a condition as tested on the Attention-Related Cognitive Errors Scale (ARCES) (Great acronym don't you think?) But in truth it is not much to concern yourself with. It is a real mental condition brought on by chronic boredom. Only the other day I myself poured salt down my back and scratched my french fries. Probably caused by the fact that everybody else at the table was texting or updating their FB. ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzCliff Lettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824271347133632569noreply@blogger.com
