So are you saying there’s something wrong with my proposal “Florida: The fax are on our side”?
Hey, it wasn’t me who gave the order! 
In my monitor, that tie looks almost pink. Would it be less sexist to imagine it as a penis pointing up toward a vagina? Well, or an asshole, or a glory hole for that matter.
After my company went from Casual Fridays to Oh, What the Hell Every Day, I once wore a suit on Friday as a joke. All that happened was the threats to kill me if I ever did it again.
No, but you’re the asshole crybaby who had to throw your tantrums on “Professional Fridays” that fucked over everyone else. Congratulaions on making people go out and buy a new wordrobe just so you could have your way. Fucking asshole.
:mad: Now, now. Don’t rouse Florida.
:eek: Watch out, Bermuda!
Wah, wah, wah. So some guy had to put on ties. Big fuckin’ deal.
Again, it wasn’t me who gave the order. But if you can’t stand to look professional in a professional environment, then there are plenty of jobs where the company can provide you with uniforms, free of charge. Take one of those.
now Maine that’s a state that can be proud of itself, even its motto fits.
Dirigo?
Ever notice how some threads just instantly sink into a morass of people just being shitty? Sometimes I wonder why that happens. Not with this thread, though.
it’s kind of a pointy motto.
Hogwash. There are plenty of professional environments where you are judged on your ability to perform the job rather than your ability to tie a Windsor knot. If it makes you feel more important to be seen before or after work at the grocery store or picking up your kids in a suit and tie, if you think people are looking at you and thinking you’re important because of the way you dress, knock yourself out. Just don’t project your need to look like something out of Mad Men on the rest of us.
And don’t be like the sales weasel who came to see me this week. He saw me in jeans and said “Oh, I guess it’s casual Monday.” Oh, I guess your appointment just got cut to five minutes, genius. Bye-bye now.
As for the campaign slogan, it’s boring and ugly.
Or you can just let people wear what they are comfortable with and not be a jerk about it.
We stopped having different drinking fountains for whites and colored decades ago, why should be continue to dress like we’re in some Mad Men fantasy club?
As long as its not obscene, I think employees should be allowed to wear what they want for comfort. I am much happier and comfortable, and get more work done, on Fridays when I can wear sneakers and cargo pants and a T-shirt
Apropos of nothing:
Pointy birds,
Oh pointy! Pointy!
Anoint my head,
Anointy nointy!

Logo, not motto.
I work in an very conservative industry and by that I mean Obama jokes are very common but I’ve never heard Obongo before and it took me a couple of read throughs to understand what he was aiming for. On the plus side his post was much funnier the first time I read it as Oingo Boingo.
Ya just had to spell it out, didn’t you?
As in Daniels. You know, your best and only friend.
Yea, racism aside, it doesn’t work very well as a play on words. “Obama” isn’t very similar to “Obongo”.
So…apparently only men worked in your office. Men who had to wear ties. Not ladies who had to also purchase new business attire.
See what Florida’s new business logo is doing already?
