Poll question: What kind of clothes do you wear at work? What do you do?
I'm a nurse so scrubs would be considered a uniform.

19. Kinda depends...
If I've got meetings with the big bosses, then it's khakis and a dress shirt with a jacket-- maybe a tie if it's really high up.

If it's just working behind the desk, then jeans and a polo shirt will work fine.

BTW, I'm a tech worker for the state gov't, if that makes any difference.

34. I'm a nursing student.
I just got a job as a cardiac monitor where I'd monitor vitals, do EKG's, blah, blah, blah and I'm supposed to start in two weeks and it's not a bad job. However, I have another interview Friday doing patient care assistant work in a medical setting that is involved more within the spectrum of maternal/child health which is where I ultimately want to specialize in (if I get the job that is, which has better hours, plus I already have a degree in early childhood education so it makes more sense).

Something is happening soon either way. I'm just not sure yet. I hate the darned tension of it all.

29. Dirty, holey, paint caked Levis/ T shirt
I'm a sign painter. Everything I own has paint on it somewhere, even the tux. But when I worked at Disneyland I had to wear a costume.
I had to dress up as a paint caked painter from 1910.

35. I am an accounting assistant...
for a mfg company. We have a two-person office. Because we can only get to our office via the factory, the president says casual. Jeans, sweatshirts/t-shirts (although to be honest, I'm happiest in a button down cotton long-sleeved shirt) and any foot covering that does not expose the toesies. One day I wore overalls to work because I'd moved and could not find my f'ing clothes. My supervisor and I also bring our dogs to work, although not together, as my bigger dog would like to eat my supervisor's oldest mini-dachsund. She is perfectly ok with the puppy, though.
