OT: Anything Goes 34: The Thirtyforth One

[RayP]

That’s how it is where I work minus the walked out part, but I’m pretty sure it’s an injury liability thing.

The “walking out” part is pretty casual. It has more to do with not having access to your computer to send out client lists and such.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Wow. That's insane. Do you have a beard? That would make sense then.

My cut from a barber is $25 + tip 20% (even give you a free beer)

Same here and I thought $25 including tip was too much.

 

[ChiHawks10]

My haircut is free from my fiance. She does a damn good job. No sense in me paying for one when she can do it for free, and I'm happy with it.

Finally, after all these years, started Game of Thrones two nights ago. I'm five episodes deep so far. Trying to avoid seeing anything I can on social media currently but know it's impossible to be spoiler-free in this day and age if you aren't current on something.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Yea, they made everyone come in all two weeks. It's fine. I need the cash since I had to blow money on new work clothes.

I wear the same shirt and pants all week. Saves on laundry and my work dosent care what you wear as long as it's not a t-shirt and ripped jeans. I just change my underwear, undershirt and socks daily.

It gets ya hooked quick.

You'll enjoy it. I give it maybe two weeks and you'll be all caught up.

Good so far. Had no doubts I'd like it, just never got around to getting HBO or the app to actually watch it. Finally caved and got it.

Yeah, I add HBO to my Xfinity package just to watch it and Westworld when they're on, then cancel that package after. HBO isn't worth it for anything else, so I can't justify the money any other time. If I wanna watch movies I have Prime Video and Netflix.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Got HBO for my wife to binge GoT as well. I'm just a passing fan really, kind of fun to watch the new stuff and then read how longtime fans are upset.

Eh, I wear button ups and jeans. It was stupid expensive for everything, but I did a winter refresh in November and needed to do a summer one, too. I'm pretty set now.

I just got the HBO Now app. It's free for like, two weeks and then it's $14 per month or something like that. I'll keep it long enough to get through GoT (maybe check out Westworld too) and then I'll ditch it when I'm done. I won't need it for anything else.

You need to watch Veep. Succession was pretty good too, I thought.

Yeah, there are others I need to watch. I'm just getting into my "I don't watch TV, I spend my time outside." weather in Chicago, though. So TV is minimal until like December, at this point.

I’m sure no one at work notices that you wear the same smelly clothes every day.

I was gonna leave it alone... but... since you said it...

Who wears the same pants and shirt for an entire week of work?

I think he's lying that he changes his underwear.

 

[ChiHawks10]

I think he's lying that he changes his underwear.

See... I've worn the same pants a second day, simply because I sit in a chair in my office 90-95% of my day, so it's not like they really get all that dirty/smelly. Undershirt(if I wear one) and button up/polo, and underwear... are daily changes, as are pants the vast majority of the time, and I would never go three days on a pair of pants. But the same shirt, same pants, every day, for an entire week? I just don't... I don't know what to say.

 

[RayP]

I hope he meant something along the lines he buys a 5 pack of undershirts or something and wears those all week.....

Maybe he’s a dish washer.

I’d honestly send someone home if they wore the same clothes for probably 3 straight days. I’d probably give a pass for 2 and think they just did the walk of shame right back to work.

He actually said he changes his undershirt. And his underwear. But wears the same shirt and pants over them for an entire week.

What the f***.

Depends on what you're doing, but you can definitively get away with the same pants for a few days if you aren't very active. I've worn the same pair of khakis on consecutive days to the office for example. To be fair, the first thing I do after saying hello to the wife and kids when I get home is change into some comfortable clothes (sweats or basketball shorts and T shirt), so I'm only wearing them for about 1o hours a day at a desk.

Same exact process I have. If I wasn't doing much more than sitting at my desk, then I'll give the pants two days. Especially since, like you said, as soon as I'm home, they're off, and sweats or basketball shorts go on immediately.

Summer is different, as if you don't run the A/C in the car a lot, just the commute you sweat a lot, so the pants don't ever get 2 days then, really.

Anyone want to take bets on how often he brushes his teeth?

I’ll say once a week on Monday morning to start the week.

I'm a 2x a day guy, personally. Morning after the shower. Night before bed. Mid-day, post-lunch is more a mint/gum kind of thing for me.

I know people who brush religiously like 5 times a day, though. Toothbrush brought to work, and all that jazz.

I'm not saying this to pick on the guy, but I assume there isn't much showering happening either. No one showers and then puts on dirty clothes.
