On Business Casual/Leisure Dress Days…

Friday morning.

I woke up, did a mile plus on the treadmill, got ready for work. Nice sunny day, last day of the work week and need to score some low-fat yogurt after work. Anyways, I got dressed in shorts, plaid short-sleeved shirt and (closed-toed) sandals. No fencing tonight – which means I can use the bike today.

I got to the bus stop on my bike and another bus rider walked up to me. He was wearing black sneakers and mentioned that today was his company’s “Leisure Dress” day. Of course, he saw my sandals and mentions that it seems everyday, at least from his perspective, is business casual for me.

Well actually it’s true, but I digress…

This is when I replied with the following line:

“I may dress leisurely for work. I just don’t work leisurely. Big difference.”

Of course, I added some additional emphasis with the “Issac from The Love Boat” double finger point on “Big difference.”

Now, he could have perceived that statement with some “attitude” but it wasn’t. We both had a nice smile and laugh afterwards.

And it was so true…damn right.
