Who needs a MOJITO time? — Page 271

are you sun kissed, BT?

...and mid-life crisis jeans? Sounds interesing!

(now, why couldn't Dumba$$ just buy himself a new pair of jeans for his mid-life crisis... instead of getting into someone elses?!)

Cookie, that would be positively shocking! clam diggers at work?!

Who did that?!

Years ago one new associate misuunderstood the term "casual friday" and wore shorts to work. The Old Man sent out a memo "This is not a beach party!"

I try to maintain the appropriate 'corporate' image...

It's amazing to see what some 'kids' wear when we have summer casual Friday's. I usually have to pull one or two aside and suggest that bathing suits under shorts and a t-shirt don't really fall under the category of 'Dress for Success'...

That's true. Being a lifeguard is a wonderful job. And so many benefits!

---

That reminds me of when I conducted job interviews for a company that hired a lot of highschoolers for afterschool and evening hours.

They would come in in 2s and 3s. Copy each other's application. Be dressed for anything but work...and the first question was always about getting time off:
"How much vacation time do I get?"
"What if I can't come into work, should I call or just not show up?"
"How bad is it if I don't want to work some weeks"

and I loved:
"You gotta hire both of us because if my best friend isn't hired, then I don't want to work here."

Yessiree. Well prepared by their parents for the foray into the business world.

Song Title: You'Re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile
Album:
[B u y " " CD]

HEALY

(spoken) This is Bert Healy saying ...
(singing now) Hey, hobo man
Hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile --
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Who cares what they're wearing
From Main Street,
to Saville Row,
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe
(That matters)

So, Senator,
So, Janitor,
So long for a while
Remember,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

BOYLAN SISTER

Ready or not, here he goes
Listen to Bert
Tap his smilin' toes

HEALY

(spoken)
Ah, the lovely Boylan Sisters

BOYLAN SISTERS

Doo doodle-oo doo
Doo doodle-oo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile
But, brother
You're never fully dressed
You're never dressed
Without an

great song, beacs!

And, yes, I am constantly amazed at the questions and statements made to me when I am interviewing candidates for entry-level positions. I have kept a file... Totally unprepared and arrogant!

---

Our office is casual week long. No one cares what anyone wears.

DD - you needed that memo

"This is not a beach party!" BTW - the old man here turns 80 on Wednesday!

DD - oh yes, he has practiced 53 years and is sharp for an 80 year old.
