  I get to wear white socks to work! For the past 9 years, all my jobs required me to wear black socks. Now my current employer, with our uniform dress code, it doesn't matter if you wear white or black.
We're offered khaki pants, polo shirts and shoes at a discounted price. It's very casual. My first 2 weeks there, I was still going to work in my black slates, my deer stags, and my black socks. My bosses were probably thinking I was still trying to "wow" them. I simply got so used to wearing that- some days I think I dressed better than them. Wow. Compared to my previous job, this one actually provided me with the entire wardrobe. On my last one, they provided you with 2 shirts a year(if that) and you had to purchase everything else. If that wasn't bad enough, they were very particular of what to wear. The only acceptable pants were dress khakis or black slacks, white undershirts, all black or all white casual shoes, no polo uniforms in the office, and so on.
What are these people thinking? Anyways, I'm out of there now and I atually really enjoy what I do for my new employer. I also get acknowledged for any of my accomplishments- big or small. That in itself is priceless. I just talked to one of my ex co-workers and things there are as crappy as ever. The guests hate the "big" boss there. One guest called her a bitch- to her face and in front of everyone! My inside source even tells me she is violating the same company policy that eventually led to myself being let go. Crrraaappppyyy! I don't miss that environment at all, but I sure do feel sorry for my buddies over there.
Another guy there, code named, Narc, has also had enough. He's now changed his code name to "Mule" since the "big" boss has got him doing all kinds of miscellaneous work. LOL. At least those 2 crazy indians are making light out of a dreary environment. I'll have to pay them a visit soon. Plus, I think they're still holding my mags. Cheers!
