Me And My Pants ...

This morning, my boss came in, looked at me and asked me whether I had any appointments or not? What a peculiar question. I replied in the negative and was kinda curious with the very fact that she asked me such a question that I just had to ask her what she meant by it?

She said seeing as how I was in really casual clothes and all that, she presumed that I didn't have any appointments.

'Huh?' was my answer.

But boss, I'm always in casual clothes and only on days when I have a presentation would I even consider dressing up. It's not like you don't know me by now.' I continued ...

She didn't say anything to that, she smiled and just said:

'that's true, you're always under dressed ...'

Hmmmm, I think the fact that we're still having staffing problems must be weighing heavily on her mind cos she's never asked me a question like that before, well, not in a long time that is ... I'm the jeans and tee shirt kinda person. I know my job description requires me to meet people and do presentations and stuff but most of the time, I come in to work in jeans with either a short sleeved shirt or a tee shirt.

I just can't stand being in a necktie, log sleeve shirts and slacks all day long and normally, I only wear them when I first meet a new client or only for presentations, I've been known to actually wear jeans and short sleeve shirts for some presentations even. Not very professional I know but hey, being comfortable is what matters, right?

I'm only really comfortable when I'm in something casual, in fact if they allowed me to come in to work with Bermudas I definitely would. LOL! I'm pretty much the casual and simple kinda person. Nothing makes me happier than coming in to work in my favourite Dockers and my well used and comfortable blue tee shirt that I love so much that wifey says one day people are going to think I don't own any other tee shirts ... hehehe ...

Come on, honestly, what can be better than a nice pair of well worn khaki Dockers attached to your lower body all day long? When I'm in the midst of work, I tend to sit just about anywhere and my trusty Dockers is perfectly cut out for the rough stuff. I've always loved my Dockers, especially the straight fits and I've been using them for as long as I can remember that I cannot picture myself being comfortable in anything else. My pants and me have seen so many ups and downs together that if my pants could talk, what a tale it would tell you guys :D

The things we've both been through, the stuff we've seen together, I could probably make a nice little movie and submit it as a TV commercial for the Dockers contest at www.nbc.com/Dockers and maybe even win a prize or something. Now, that would be awesome wouldn't it? Actually, the more I think about this, the more excited I am about participating in this Dockers contest ... hehehe ... I mean, I do work in an advertising agency and it shouldn't be all that hard to make a nice creative story about my pants.

And I'd better win or else there'll be hell to pay ... hahaha ... ok, ok, just kidding, maybe second prize or something, I don't want to appear to be too greedy now. Wait a minute, there is a second prize isn't there?
