Now they tell me
I started working full-time, by which I mean 35 or more hours a week, in the fall of 1979, my sophomore year of college. And I have worked full-time (by which I mean frequently in excess of 55 hours per week) ever since. That's coming up on 27 years now.
Twenty. Seven. Years.
And in all that time, do you think a single soul -- a friend, a loved one, anyone who cares about me as a person, wants me to succeed in life and has my best interests at heart -- bothered to inform me that you're supposed to wear underwear to work?
No. I have to learn this by reading about it in today's News & Record.
Thanks a lot.

I shudder to think at the number of intern positions that will be eliminated if the young women targeted in the article follow your reporter's advice.

Yeah, sometimes the free market is brutal like that.

Oh yeah, don't forget to brush your hair either.
And look, if either the suggestion to wear underwear or the suggestion to brush your hair before going to your new office job sounded like good advice that you were happy with the N&R for providing, honey, we need to talk about the Christmas party.

Too Much Information, Lex. Too Much Information.

They're even more specific than just underwear. "Wear underwear. That means bra and panties..."
There's always been something about journalists that a little different. This may give insight as to why.

No kidding. But who are these girls I'm supposed to see when I lean over? The only thing I see is my company ID and the lanyard it dangles from. Not a girl in sight. Hmph!
