After 9 months being the house bitch and loving every second of being at home with my baby son and wife and screwing Gordon for every penny I could get out of him I'm now back at work, living away from home and I bloody hate my new job!
Get this, I'm rarely customer facing, I work in a creative environment doing wizzy consumer electronics things and I'm responsible for the product nmanagement of new stuff...and and and...I was told today that my converse trainers, jeans, tshirt and jacket look was not what was expected of senior management in the office and would I please wear a suit?
For the love of god - why??????????????
Does it make me work better, harder, smarter - no!
Does it make people respect my abilities more - no!
Does it make me feel comfrtable in my working environment - no!
Would I wear a suit if needed - yes, gladly love wearing them, love my Paul Smith and Boateng and Prada but for the right occasions only!
What makes it worse, I look around the office at my next/M&S suit clad colleagues and how shabby, shiny trouser bottomed, badly shod, tie and shirt combo, curled collar and baggy jacket pocketted do they all look. Suits in my book equal sartorial elegance, sharpness and presence - not Charlie Chaplin lookalikes. If anything my suited colleagues give the poor impression and not me.
Rant over.
