Shortgate scandal at work

[snorri]

he often feels like he's got a kind of trench foot round his knackers.

Well thanks for that insight Sara_H, phew.

Ah the joys of being an oliy engineer and working gear being a boilersuit during working hours, tee shirt and shorts off duty.

I hear they're sending you west of Shetland in October.

One of the lads in the office asked me yesterday if men could wear shorts in the office, so I just said I don't see why not, if HR have an issue I'll deal with them when they raise it

 

[Lullabelle]

In the office we used to have unofficial dress down day on Friday. One day 1 of the engineers turned up in an allegedly expensive polo shirt with a brand name emblazoned across it, strutting around bragging about how much it cost. That was the first time the FD came in on a Friday, the engineer was called into the FD's office and told not to wear it again as it was only suitable for wearing whilst doing dirty jobs around the house. Said engineer was furious we thought it hilarious, well slapped down.

Shorts are not allowed in the office

[QUOTE 3185906, member: 1314"]I think there ought to be guidelines though. Not overly pale, for example. Seen man legs which haven't seen light all year, sallow-haired, and varicose veined, with socks and sandals?

Hang on, just because you come with a healthy tan as part of your factory settings, don't try to stop us pasty white guys from enjoying a breeze round the knees when things start to get sticky.

Then you are being subjected to illegal discrimination.

My legs are hi-viz white, saves putting a yellow vest on when on the shop floor.

Brrr...Sod off. You don't work in my head office do you? Someone there has suggested that too.

As long as he doesn't frighten the ponies.

I've been wearing shorts to work for the last month or more, but then it's not very formal.

 

[Twotter]

Easy fix - wear a kilt.

Funny you should mention that....I'm planning to order one this weekend

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Being self employed, I can wear what I like. For the last fortnight it's been a string vest and a speedo.

People are really envious, everybody keeps staring admiringly at me.

You'd only get excited.

I'm not just a piece of meat you know, I have feelings.

Do they poke through your string vest?
