Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 I'm amazed there aren't more! The stories I've heard... :blush: I'm sorry man...but thanks for sharing. In tribute, I propose you and Jo do likewise for Halloween.

SwampD Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 Youtube and MP3s. They just sound terrible. They are the AM radio of digital music. It's like looking at a poster of a Miro painting, and the original was 6'x8'.
dEnnis the Menace Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 People need patience. I am in a dept. of 3 people. I only have so much time in a day.
Claude_Verret Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 The fire drill we just had at work. It's 75, sunny and absolutely gorgeous outside. I wanted to just get in my car and leave for the day, but instead I'm back at my friggin desk.
josie Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 Took my car in to trade it in for a new lease. Discovered that the shop my insurance recommended me to use after my accident in January put the car back together wrong. So, I'm driving another rental car, waiting on insurance runaround, and generally feeling pretty sick of cars, insurance, and the whole shebang. To continue the whine course today, most of my coworkers are at PAX East, which means I got stuck with a coworker's very large project not really in my field of expertise. Originally it was due in September. Then we're told last week it's needed this friday. I find out yesterday it's needed today. I'd been helping along all week, but my coworker (who is incredibly talented and tough to match) is a lot slower a worker than I'd thought soo.... it's behind. I worked 12 some hours on it yesterday before my retinas were fried, dreamt about it all night last night, and here at 11 AM haven't the foggiest clue what I'm doing or how I'm going to do it. All of the coffee.
darksabre Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 How the f*ck am I supposed to dress comfortable in the summertime without looking like: 1. A bro 2. A douche 3. A hipster 4. A 55 year old man? :wacko:

A 55 year old man? :wacko: What's wrong with shorts, a t-shirt, and a pair of sneakers? You work in a factory, right? I'd imagine the dress code would allow for that, although you may have to wear steel-toed shoes instead of sneakers.

I'd imagine the dress code would allow for that, although you may have to wear steel-toed shoes instead of sneakers. At work isn't really an issue. We have uniforms. But I'm really tired of just rocking gym shorts and a white t-shirt all the time in the summer. I'm a sweaty guy so I want to be comfortable. But I always look like a schlub when I'm out with the girlfriend because she can just throw on a sun dress and look pulled together. I wish I could wear a more classic look, like slacks and a sports shirt, something 50s style. But then I'll just look like Ace Ventura or a hipster. I don't want to look like I'm wearing a costume. But I really just don't want to wear khaki shorts and a polo shirt. :yawn:

But I really just don't want to wear khaki shorts and a polo shirt. :yawn: A pair of lightweight cargo shorts (never, ever, gym shorts), nylon or light cotton would be best for the heat. A button-front seer-sucker or linen shirt. I love seer-sucker; I think it wears cooler than a t-shirt. Of course, I dress like I'm old according to my wife, but I think it's more like 45 than 55. :) Edited April 10, 2014 by MattPie

Seersucker and linens. I want something that breathes well and doesn't show sweat. I guess I'd rather dress like my grandpa than my dad, if you get my drift. :lol:
LastPommerFan Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 finally nice weather. Meetings scheduled til 6:30.

MattPie Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I'm looking at shirt materials like that. Seersucker and linens. I want something that breathes well and doesn't show sweat. You have to be dripping for seer-sucker to show, generally speaking. I remember my wife looking at me while we were in Cambodia, and saying, "wow, I finally understand those shirts, you barely look like you're sweating". It was 100 and 90%+ humidity, I assure you I was soaked.

Have I really ever said anything about it? If you stay in gym shorts and tshirts, you stay in gym shorts and tshirts. I'd rather you're comfortable than sweaty and grumpy. You're the one who wants to match my fabulous sundress/heels summer aesthetic. :D Edited April 10, 2014 by Josie914

But I really just don't want to wear khaki shorts and a polo shirt. :yawn: I have to dress business casual for my job which means the evil black socks and dress shoes along with slacks/dress pants and a button up shirt and the shirt is the least horrible part of it (only because I have to tuck it in). I've got a ton of those short sleeve button up plaid shirts and if you don't have to tuck them in they are very comfortable and don't get you too warm. Plus they don't really show your sweat thanks to the pattern even though most of them are pretty thin so I'd recommend them. I live down south so I sweat a lot too at times, especially when I've been drinking. I'd follow Matt as well and go with cargo shorts over gym shorts as well. The only time I wear gym shorts is either at the gym or when I'm bumming around the house but even then I'm usually wearing plaid pajama pants.

I'm not going as far as saying the Internet is burning like some of the media is, but I wouldn't go out of my way to log into banking any whatnot for a few more days.
