RTC, you're fresh out of school. You'll be jaded and broken soon enough.

That's funny, people in the office were just talking about wearing shorts to work (or not) - guy from Romania says he'd never do it, thinks it's sloppy/etc.. I could care less.
The great thing about working here (Microsoft) is that once you're in the door you can wear just about anything. I see everything from the Docker's types to dudes that look like they just stepped out of The Matrix (trenchcoat mafia)..
Anyway sorry to hear about the dress code, what type of place do you work at?

Maybe you can get me a working USBAudio.sys file that will allow me to use my Peachtree Audio Decco with Windows 7? It all worked well in XP...

That's actually what I have done since January but that has left me unable to fill 2 specific types of customer needs -
1 - The PCad schwaggaholic need for the latest aero tested piece of marketed Hoosier engineering
2 - Anyone who wants a tubular or clincher deeper than 60mm.

The manufacturer didn't update drivers I take it?
(Sorry I can't help, I don't work on the Windows team)
Maybe it'll work in Windows 8? They're working on it now, will be out in a few years. =]

As you've done it for a while you realize the critical training and education you really learned in school was picked up on the playground during recess. the technical education was just similar to a language course - it allows you to communicate....to the others on the playground.

Has coddling tendencies.
You'd like to think so, but that wouldn't fit the popular subculture image of Microsoft as the source of all things evil. See, at MS, the guys with Matrix trenchcoats would be the opposite of Neo, Trinity and Morpheus.
I don't like having to explain my layered sarcasm.

Thanks to the customers of this industry being professionals and people who are willing to talk to companies on the phone when they want something....it has made it near impossible to get through the front door anywhere unless you are lucky enough to have a rep just pop in to you location. That presents problems for someone like me.

the symbolism isn't exactly subtle, but the production values are pretty solid.

Same is true for academia. Not much difference, though. If you want good teaching reviews you have to be entertaining and "give" good grades. I refuse to do the latter.

Exactly.....wait until you've sat at lunch with a plant manager who explicitly states that a deserving employee will never get a chance to move into any of the positions they want to move into and are actively pursuing because they participate in the posted and policy approved "casual friday" attire and therefore aren't "serious enough" about being professional - so they blackballed them across the corporation.

If khaki's are allowed, does that mean I can wear khaki colored pants that have the pockets near the knee/thigh?
Seriously, I'm clueless.

You can buy three colors of pants, and five shirts and you can mix and match.
Little more coin but nicer:

Their stuff fits skinny guys better.

Thanks Gary! That's in my price range.
Still worried about the triple rent pay in sept, so I'll try holding off on buying any new clothes till then. I have 2 pairs of dress pants and a corduroy so I should be able to hold out till then. Need to figure out student loan stuff this weekend too. Need to start paying that stuff...

Making a kilometer blurry
I have to wear britches to work at my current job. Jeans are fine, but I'm more comfortable in chinos.
EDR: Banana Republic's britches are pretty good for me. I almost went for some more spendy brands, but I've been really happy with them, and I think they're w/in $2 of Gap's price (probably the same cut). I had to get the "loose fit" because the skinny ones were tighter on my legs than my bibs.

I bought one clothing item ever from BR. Way back in the day when they were new they would send me catalogs via snail mail. I sent them my money and bought a pair of shorts. The laundry instructions said "Dry Clean Only". Where the "F" are you going to find a dry cleaner when on safari?

Here is a cost saving hint: If you are wearing a mens small you can wear a boy extra large...the boys stuff costs close to half that of the mens stuff. I have a boat load of J Crew, Abricrombe and Fitch and Polo, polo's that are boys sizes and they were cheap.
