Do any of you have to adhere to a dress code at work?
The first day I showed up to work in a lab (a food/pharmaceuticals lab), about 15 years ago (!) I was told by the temp agency to wear khakis and a shirt and tie, so I did.
I later found out that my coworkers were making fun of me that day amongst themselves..."Hey, check out the serious chemist."
For my previous job at a large corporate laboratory, there was no dress code - I pretty much wore a button-down shirt, jeans and sneakers everyday, even a baseball cap - as long as I wore safety glasses and my lab coat.
I now work in a hazardous materials plant, so it's blue uniforms and steel-toe workboots (although I get away with wearing a pair of beater sneakers).
How about you?
