It's Just Like High School Again...

... the kid with the funny clothes is being singled out, made the center of attention, and then mocked. Mike, the boss, has asked me to dress nicer in the office because he has to trot me out to office meetings, and he'd like me to be a bit more formal than "jeans and polo shirt". So, last night, we went to Moores, and blew two hundred dollars on some nicer pants, and some nicer shirts.

Today, it's been pretty much non-stop:

"Christ, did your wife dress you?"
"Do you have a job interview somewhere?"
"You look like a gigolo."
"Got a thing for beige, do you?"
"You can wear more than brown and beige, you know."
"Got a golf date?"
"Trying to look better than us?"
"It's too cold to go golfing, Chris."
"We wear jeans on this side of the office, Chris."

And so forth. Good to know that dressing nicely is going so very, very well for me.

And it's nice that it's so post appropriate. Perhaps there's a fetish for beige men's office clothes.
