Now that is a dress code I could get behind!
I'd rock the whole set.
<edit> When I was working at the bank, the wifey bought me a bunch of nice shirts and I bought 5 pairs of Dickies in various colors. I can rock jeans here, so I'm cool with that. My barber still says she can't get over me in collared shirts and not interviewing.

Home for lunch otherwise known as the daily Dagwood. Weather is quite nice at 75 and partly cloudy with low winds. I should be able to leave work at 3:30 and be on the tails within an hour.
I live a minimum 45 min drive. While I admit I have gone home for lunch (only when driving the car) I do look forward to relocating soonish and be able to ride in.
Call it a day, go biking and get home at normal time? Win win
I wear a plain black t-shirt and cargo shorts to work everyday. I run a beard trimmer across my face once a week. I wear a nice button down casual shirt once a month.
There are somethings about being self-employed that you just can't put a price on.

I learned a long time ago in art school, that when you start making mistakes form being too tired it's probably time to back off. Otherwise you might end up creating more work for yourself correcting mistakes or dealing with the consequences.
Clearly the only solution here is to leave work and slip into the woods on your bike.
It's a tip from my cardiologist to reduce stress or at least split it up into smaller units.
Plus I don't go out for lunch and eat the crappy food I love so much... tacos every day do take a toll.
I can't remember a damn thing I learned in school, except how not to get caught.
That can be a pretty useful skill to have.
We were just laughing about this at our meeting yesterday. Some teams in our organization complain that we tend to work 40 hour weeks. As a salaried employee, I am not keen on overtime in general. But working longer hours does not mean more productivity, only less life in the Work/Life balance.
I'm all about balance these days... and value.
Don't fuck around with your health.
I do second the go ride your bike part, however.
In Whistler, village gondola had a lightening strike while we were above Olympic...stranded for about an hour :/
given your history when you say mental misfire i think mini stroke.....not that i hope?
when it comes to suits and men in america....they tend to look like the have barry melrose's tailor....not a good look.
Spent the morning shopping, spent the afternoon continuing to spruce up the camper.
Back in from tonight's ride on the GT, went about 12 miles and saw 1 surgeon on a pepto pink Santa Cruz Bronson, I'd met him before when he forgot his pump and needed some air. We ran into a rattle snake on the trail who wouldn't move. I thought I took pictures on my new phone but I cannot find them so fail.
I also ran into local hero Henry which is 63, the former owner of the better LBS and full time caretaker of the South Shore trails, half of which he created. He has half a dozen carbon Yetis and even more top line Specialized rides. He told me the margins on Yetis are super slim and assembly of their bikes is basically ground up. It was a hard brand for him to make money on.
Just a fucking awesome day, except for JBP's comment which I don't understand... it maybe an insult so now my anxiety level requires a scotch.

Pulled trigger on new fork for ss. Yippeee!
What did you decide on?
Ride was cut short due to getting old. One of my achilles tendons cramped and swelled up to the point it was hard to pedal. Got bit my something there in the same area. Thought it was a mosquito bite, but not sure now.
So I just went across the street and had some kick-ass Thai for dinner.

Well - if it makes you feel any better, we're suffering with an almost intolerable 50% humidity. Oh, the huge manatee!
Humidity bothering you? Go west young man, go west. Stop before California.
At the showgrounds. EMT by day, Roadie in the evenings
