It's the fashion

Dress code for techs at the main campus was simple.
First shift: Dress clothes with tie. Women were exempt from the tie.
Second shift: Same until about 6 pm. Then the ties came off because corporate people left.
Third shift: Pretty much whatever they wanted. No one spot checks third shift.

Then tech support is moved to Siberia:
A new building, formally a manufacturing plant off of 290, is leased and fitted out for tech support.

By the way, it is not true that the building was leased from the CEO. Definitely not true.
It was lease from the company he owned.
There's a difference.

In Siberia, you could pretty much dress how you wanted.
Jeans were standard.
In summer time, shorts were standard.

Which led to my first and only fashion creation: geek shorts.

We had a guy, pure geek and fat, who wore shorts every day. Every day they would crawl up the crack of his ass. So he would walk down the hall with the inside length of his shorts two inches shorter than the outside.
So I've designed some shorts that start with the inside length 2 inches longer.
Then, when mid-day comes and he leaves for lunch, the bottom of his shorts look level.

New definition:
TG: She was wearing a one piece garment.
Like a blouse and skirt but all one piece.
You know, they were attached.
I guess you could call it a MONOSKIRT.

Me: Oh. You mean a dress?

TG: Uh.....yeah.
