    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

      Even here, it's a mix of guys and ladies. In some cases the guys give you better deals, so normally I prefer dealing with salesmen rather than women. Doesn't work that way all the time though.

        Tell her it is portrait day. What, she didn't bring a camera? Well, lucky for her that you brought yours in and you will happily help a fellow coworker out and take the picture for her. You're just that nice.

                    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|

                      I don't care if it's the same or not. There's simply no need to wear inappropriate dress to work.

                                  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:

                                    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|

                                    Are we feeling a bit...... SUPERIOR? As long as people aren't actually flashing their junk in my food, I don't care what they do/don't wear to the office.

                                        That really is the only thing that's important in this situation. If she's hot, it's okay. If not, major work attire violation. :laugh: :laugh:

                                          I don't know what WE feel, but I feel that they should use common sense in matters like this. They're not going to the pub, you see. It's workplace.
