The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
I really don't feel like having this in it's own thread, so I'll vent in here. I have worked at the same place for nearly nine years. The only time I have had to deal with the public was when I worked in HR, or when I was on-site at a hospital in Memphis. Whenever I worked in those positions, I dressed appropriately. Now, the company that acquired us last year is putting a dress code on our production employees.
Shorts cannot be more than two inches above the knee.
No tight clothing or clothing with offensive words/pictures.
No speghetti straps, tank tops, halter tops, or tube tops.
No holes in jeans or frayed pant legs.
No hats.
No visible tattoos or piercings other than ears.
No hair that is an unnatural color (Black, Brown, Blonde, Red, or Gray).
Fingernails cannot be excessively long or painted with a bold color that will draw attention to them.
Beards must be neatly trimmed.
Do any of these seem a little ridiculous to you, considering we do not dea with the public?

My aunt today was telling me how she loved this time of year because she could go out in her thongs. :-) I looked at her and said Excuwhadoyouhuh? She was talking about her flip flops. Anyone else ever heard this term before?
They owe me $15. I bought a pair of shorts that I knew I could wear to work that I otherwise would have bought. Now I can't wear them, or capris. Unless of course, i want to wear band-aids or ace bandages around my ankles. And no, socks won't cover them.

I was talking to one of our techs today about this very thing. Growing up, I called flip-flops thongs. I told someone a few years ago about always wearing my thongs at the lake when I was little, and they stared at me in amazement.

I had not heard this since I was a young kid. I got a wee bit grossed out hearing it from my Aunt.

It doesn't matter though, the bigwigs decide what you are allowed to wear. The company that aquired yours is probably publicly traded (I'm guessing), so their rules apply.

Yeah, I know. Part of my job I'm going to hate is enforcing rules I don't agree with. Just part of the job though.
