Yup, there was nothing keeping me from writing in a bathrobe or jockey shorts, but for some reason, I felt that the day I didn't get up at a normal time, and get dressed like I was going to work for real, then it would be all over. <BR/><BR/>So for a while I'd just get dressed as normal. This had the added advantage of eliminating a step if you realized that you had run out of say, coffee at an inopportune time. <BR/><BR/>But eventually, long before Friedman made it a point of honor, I discovered trackpants. Trackpants seemed like a glorious compromise. Never in a million years would ever wear them outside, but inside they were comfy and practical. And they of course went well with any of a number of t-shirts with ironic and clever sayings on them that I wore to round out the ensemble.<BR/><BR/>Then about seven weeks ago, I found an old pair of trackpants that I'd spilled bleach on down the leg. I found that bleach stain distracting. It was literally distracting me. So I took scissors and cut off the legs, and turned my track pants into cut off track shorts. <BR/><BR/>I'm never going back.<BR/><BR/>Also: bare feet. Toes gotta breathe. <BR/><BR/>Even in the production office now -- I find myself letting the tootsies loose.<BR/><BR/>Never got the white sneakers thing.<BR/><BR/>But cargo shorts, polo shirts and those ironically clever tshirts?<BR/><BR/>Golden.DMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105351826851407562noreply@blogger.com
