I'm very torn on this issue.

First - there is no way I'd hire this lady. But I'm an obsolete, misogynistic, bigotted dinosaur, so take my opinion for what it is.

Secondly - our society seems to becoming more casual every day and is that a good thing? Nothing is special. Hardly anyone dresses up for anything - it's not unheard of to see t-shirts and jeans at funeral, weddings and church!

Back about 15 years ago I worked in an engineering office and we started "casual fridays". This was in an office that was still wearing coat and tie Monday-Thursday. First friday was slacks and dress shirt, no tie, shinny shoes. Next friday was polos, slacks and loafers. Next friday it was polo, jeans and sneakers. After that you'd see t-shirts, cut-offs and flip flops. I truly hate flip flops. Keep your country toes covered people!

You give an inch, people take a mile. And you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

If your culture is one of tribes and mysticism, then by all means get your tatoos and piercings. Grow your hair out and have your animal sacrifices. But please, all you suburban white kids, enough of this already. Cover that crap up and put my burger in the bag!

For all you lactating ladies out there - we appreaciate your plight. Don't mind oggling your ample bosom - it really makes the office environment more interesting. But please, we do ask that you keep those babies holstered while in the conference room or hallway. Put your milk in a CLEARLY marked container. The coffee is really bad enough on it's own without contributing your own special flavor to it.
