Too Short

[shanmonster]

Hey, f00dave!

Guess who won the free night stay in the jacuzzi suite?

That would be me.

It makes up for the little aside I got for wearing a scandalously-short skirt. Apparently, I should have gone with the shorts. Shorts, skorts, and scooters (don't ask) are allowed to be 8 knuckles above the knee, but skirts can't be shorter than 4 knuckles above the knee. I hate arbitrary rules.

I guess I need to go shopping for skirts and shorts, otherwise, I'm going to be very hot and miserable all summer. Ugh.

Maybe I'll just bike up in whatever I want, and leave a pair of pants and a shirt in my locker.

In other news, two packages came in the mail today. We finally received our package of BPAL perfume oils. I'm currently wearing Red Queen, which smells delicious in the bottle, and like an oil painting studio on me. My body chemistry messes perfumes up. Spooky smells like burning dust on me. Salome smells good on me, though!

I also received my copy of the Bellydance Superstars at Folies Berges. Unfortunately, just because a DVD says it will play in all regions doesn't mean that it will. It's PAL format, and I can't view it. Poop. I was really looking forward to this DVD. I'm hoping someone will be able to rip it to a viewable format for me. In any case, I'll be selling or trading this one.

Interested?

Clients who call in can't see what you're wearing!

Maybe they can smell it, though.

Isn't it reasonable that your dress code is
important when customers never see you?

[elanya.livejournal.com]

It isn't for the customers... Among other things, it is partly for co-workers. Shan may look fine in a very short skirt. Other people may not. Shan may look *too* good in a very short skirt for other people to feel comfortable working with her. Tart!

I'm such a floozy!

On a side note, have you ever noticed that virtually all of the slang terms for a "woman of easy virtue" sound like desserts? For example, tart, strumpet, trollop, floozy...the list goes on and they all sound like pastries.

"Hi, I'd like a large coffee and a cherry strumpet..."

See what I mean?

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I think that's intentional.

And hotty guys are foody, too: beefcake!

You can achieve your dreams. I am living proof.

[zombienought.livejournal.com]

Beefcake!




Beefcake!

You may have a point. An employee shouldn't
be feeling too sexy while on the phones, as
it may lead to confusion with phonesex, and
the smell of urine in the employee work area.

I would like to officially state that there should be nothing wrong about women with bodies like yours wearing scandalously short skirts. They *should* be a priveledge, though, and not a right...

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I didn't think my skirt was that short, but I guess I'm mistaken.

I guess well-muscled thigh is a scary sight for some.

[mightywombat.livejournal.com]

I guess they just don't know what to do with the emotions it engenders in them. Silly uptight bastards...

Rock out! I guess we'll need to make another trip to St. John soon, wot wot? =D When's it good for?

[daughty.livejournal.com]

WTF do they have such a dress code at a call centre??? Clients cannot see you for chrissake.

[morriganswitch.livejournal.com]

I can see (smell?) you wearing blood amber. :) It's one of my favs. Slivers of warm, pulsating blood forever crystallized in golden amber resin.

Of course I'm an amber whore anyway. I LOVE it. so, if you like Amber, they've got some GREAT scents blended with it.

Dress code?

Isn't this the kind of job where people show up in their bunny-rabbit bedclothes?

Or..

maybe that's just how I *imagine* it to be..

People are wierd!

"On the internet, people can't tell you are a dog, but...
on the phone, people can see you're wearing a miniskirt."

You're thinking "Cendant", not "Delta".

[vureoelt.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's arbitary... probably the more tight-fitting (and therefore likely to stay in place) the article of clothing is, the shorter it can be to have the same "effectiveness".

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Nope. It qualifies no matter how tight or loose the clothing may be.

[vureoelt.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well, whoever thought it up must've figured that the tightness of the clothing is inherent with the classification, I guess.

Which is a bit of a crock perhaps, but there you have it. It's the only thing that makes sense to me, anyways.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I'm really not sure what you're talking about. Skirts or shorts can be either loose or tight. There's no default snugness for either.

[vureoelt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but within a certain margin, right? Otherwise they become... skorts, or whatever. Anyhow, this is why I said it was a bit of a crock... I can only imagine that this is the (flawed) thinking that was relied upon.
