As I have said before, the vast majority of the employees at BCFG are men, and it seems that frequently men are kind of weird. My current issue with my male co-workers is their obsession with BCFG polo shirts. I get that it's summer and our office is pretty casual, so you can wear a polo to work every day, but does it HAVE to be a BCFG polo? Take today for example--my 6 male coworkers were in the office today for some point in time and the three that didn't have outside appointments were ALL wearing a BCFG polo. What made today unique for me is that these guys have just come off of 4 days in a row of hosting a hospitality house where they were required to wear their polos, in order to be easily identified by our guests. I guess they just really like those shirts, or feel the need to wick some sweat during the work day.* In other news, involving someone not wearing their shirt...R got really mad at K during the hospitality house. K was in charge of checking in guests (which had previously been Rs job, prior to her husband getting sick and her schedule being pretty crazy) and K did not wear her BCFG polo. Instead she wore sun dresses. This was a big no-no and is still causing inter-office tension.
I also overheard a pretty funny clothing conversation between Mr. X and Mold today. Mr. X and Mole are going to see one of Mr. X's clients tomorrow and Mole called into Mr. X to see what he should wear. After much discussion, they both decided that they were going to wear suits, but without ties, so they look more casual. This may have been one of those times that you had to be there, but it was funny.
Today was Sweet Pea's first day back at her day care center. She had a great time. I had all the mother's guilt and anxiety leaving her there that I did when I left her there when she was 14 weeks old. Two of her old friends, who we will call Pippi and Dorothy, were there and they remembered her, so that was a good thing.
On that note, it's time to make Sweet Pea's bath, as she is all gross from doing soccer camp in 90 degree heat today.
*BCFG doesn't just provide regular cotton polos, these are high performance sweat wicking polos.
**Because I have now become the fashion police in addition to the attendance police, let me tell you about K's outfit today. She was wearing a bright red halter dress made out of a matte jersey material. There were big jewel-like things all around the halter and this dress was so short--it stopped mid-thigh and she needed to be careful getting in and out of cars, in my opinion. I think, although I do not know this for a fact, that she had belted it and then bloused it over the belt to make it even shorter. I know that I'm old and not cool, but this was soooooooooo inappropriate for work.
