| | Speaking of becoming a suit, (it was Fish who inspired me), I decided one |
| | Friday I was going to wear a Jacket and Tie to work, as my version of casual |
| | Friday. I meant it as a joke (and still do) but I got such overwhelming |
| | response from it (now every Thursday all my clients start asking me what |
| | I'll be wearing tomorrow) that it's become a tradition at our company, and |
| | now we all were suits on "casual Friday" (it's not mandatory but almost |
| | every Friday most of the guys participate). So I guess I think I'm so |
| | fucking cool cause I'm a courier in a suit. It also makes me laugh when |
| | someone compliments me on how good I look, and I chuckle and reply "ya, I |
| | picked up this fine set of threads at the Salvation Army for $6.98!!" (for |
| | the jacket, shirt, and tie!!) |
| | |
| | Most of my clients, and friends downtown that I would never think of as a |
| | "suit" (even though they have to wear a tie to work) realize why I do it |
| | ("are you mocking us?" "yes, I am ;-)") and most of the people who I would |
| | call a "suit" are usually too arrogant to realize I'm mocking them. Either |
| | way suits me just fine (no pun intended) I can have some fun (at their |
| | expense, but in a goodhearted way...sorry Bob) and they all seem to like it |
| | too. And yes I think some of the suits are a little jealous when they see |
| | that I can dress just like them if I feel like it, but they can't dress like |
| | me even if they want to. |
| | |
| | Some of my favorite comments while messing in a suit: |
| | |
| | "you bring so many smiles to so many people dressed like that" -Lady in |
| | elevator |
| | "Are you a courier???" -from a Rookie courier |
| | "Casual Friday??? That's not casual???" -from a "suit" |
| | "I love your sense of humor?" -from a client |
| | "Oh, they're on the 29th floor" -from the Nazi security guard who normally |
| | makes messengers ride the freight elevator |
