Then again it helps that I'm only about a half mile or so from the office. Its a very casual workplace here. Shorts are OK, as are t-shirts. People bring in their pets and kids are ok too.
I've been at some places where its been the navy blue suit, maroon tie and starched white shirt. You all but needed a hall pass to go to the bathroom. I much prefer this place. I like to think we do better work because of the relaxed rules. larry -- Larry C.
