On July 10, bloggers and freelancers unite to wear pants
Put Some Damn Pants On Already!
If you’re freelance, unemployed, or underemployed, you probably work at home and don’t always wear pants either. (Gentleman–no, those ratty “writing shorts” do not count.)
This Friday, July 10th, let’s all make an effort to all put on pants. Fridays are often a time for a more relaxed dress code in offices. But not for the jobless. This Friday, take a shower in the morning, fix your hair, and put on some nice clothes even if you won’t be leaving the house. Nice shorts and skirts OK too, but NO boxers or pajamas–you must wear clothes that you could actually go to a job in. (Send in pics if you want!)
Too often, un- and under-employment causes people to fall into a rut. This will give everyone an extra shot of self-esteem and aura of respectability as we continue our job hunting. It’ll make us all feel better.
I’ll definitely be donning nice pants!
Let me think about it next Friday. After all, the postman or somebody unexpected could be knocking at the door. Otherwise I will be in my extra-large minidress t-shirt for comfort in this great North Tenerife summer. You even get hot at the PC there, you know, unless you sit in a draft. However imposing some dress code on ourselves helps for self esteem. You are right.
