    I saw a female cow-orker (not one I know) wearing a white shirt that wasn't so much translucent as transparent with a flesh colored undershirt. That's appropriate for going clubbing, not working in the office. This person appeared closer to 55 than 25 and doesn't have the young and stupid excuse for not knowing better. X| :sigh:

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

    Well formal wear at work often only applies to men. Women usually end up wearing smart casuals.

      I sympathise! Nobody should be subjected to that kind of torture. X|

      Is that because the woman is old? Or in general, you think it's torture to see any woman at work in a see-through shirt?

              What? having people complain about your attire? We've seen your avatar...

              It was broke, so I fixed it.

              Hey, that make over was done because I was partying. I don't ever walk into work like that (I look much worse). :)

                    I go to office to do my work. I don't want to see girls wearing see-through shirts there. There's simply no excuse for such slimy behaviour, and they should know that there's a time and place for everything. They're (the young ones are) welcome to take my phone number and call me later in the evening, but they shouldn't bother while I work. My code generates enough runtime errors as it is. :laugh: The fact that it was an old cow makes it even worse. X|

                                  Then she needs to grow the fuck up. What kind of girls wear transparent dress to work anyways? If transparent dresses with their bosoms revealed are accepted at work, I think there's a name for that work, and for those women.

                                  Same rules, yes. I said that as well very clearly. But the fact that it's an old fart makes it worse. It does. I don't ever want to be in Dan's place.

                                    Hey, that make over was done because I was partying. I don't ever walk into work like that (I look much worse). :)

                                    :laugh: Make over eh? I suppose a few of us could make do with a do over. :)

                                    It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                      I saw a female cow-orker (not one I know) wearing a white shirt that wasn't so much translucent as transparent with a flesh colored undershirt. That's appropriate for going clubbing, not working in the office. This person appeared closer to 55 than 25 and doesn't have the young and stupid excuse for not knowing better. X| :sigh:

                                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

                                        Well formal wear at work often only applies to men. Women usually end up wearing smart casuals.

                                        Casuals are fine, but not revealing dress. It applies to men and women alike. I'm sure nobody at work will want to see me come in boxer briefs and tank top banian. Should such a thing happen though, the fellow nerds in my team will burn me alive without thinking of the consequences.
