Reply #21: Jeans, a t-shirt, and a company jacket [View All]

Funny thing is, underneath it I have on bright red girlie-things. I had put the stuff on last night to surprise my husband, but he came home late and fell asleep. Then I got up late this morning and had to rush to get dressed for work! :-D I work from home the first few hours of the day usually, so the typical answer from 7 - 9 AM would be "a bathrobe".

The company jacket thing is kinda funny. My coworkers and I often get gifts of t-shirts, sometimes sweatshirts, and one year we got these pretty nice, lined, fleecy jackets. We're all puzzled by it - why is it that working for a company that pays its employees enough money to buy what clothes they want when they want, we get free clothes, but working for a company that pays its employees criminally low wages, employees get nothing in useful gifts? Fortunately we do have a program for donating unused promotional clothing to charity, but I have then heard it said that when we do this, we are advertising on the backs of the homeless. Sometimes you can't win :-(
