Come work for the feds, Izzy. They let us wear whatever the hell we want. Bra, no bra. Suit, no suit.

My old boss used to actually give me shit for being dressed too professionally.

One guy used to show up in his sweatpants with flip-flops and an old raggedy shirt. He got fired, but it was because he didn't do anything for a year, not for the clothes.

I remember the 1980s IBM staff manual that specified the width and distance between the blue pinstripes to be worn by all sales staff.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
