Summer is the season of picnics and daytime parties. What’s different about partying during the day instead of at night?
The dress code.
No less than three times in the last two weeks I’ve been asked by someone at a party if I had to be at work later because of the uniform. I briefly explain that I do not, then am further grilled with questions like “Then why are you so dressed up?” To be polite I don’t give the answer “So I don’t look like a derelict.” and just say that I wear a suit everyday. Inevitably someone overhears this and then adds that it’s the same suit everyday, which leads into further explanation of the uniform.
While I’m not tired of the uniform I’m getting a little tired of explaining it. My life would be easier if everyone read this blog like they’re supposed to. Get the word out readers. Save me twenty minutes per party.
