Post #147,965 by deSitter 3/23/04 8:28:47 PM Reply	Re: Then don't bother to show up. My first interview, I showed up with my backpack and my helmet. The boss smiled and started telling motorcycle stories. If I don't get hired for lack of a suit, then I'm better off. -drl
Post #147,968 by ben_tilly 3/23/04 8:43:13 PM Reply	That is too extreme My rule of thumb is that you have to pay me an extra $20,000/year to have me show up in a suit. At some point I'll bother increasing that differential. I'm employed and am facing no offer that would make me consider wearing a suit. However if I was unemployed, I'd wear a suit in an instant. And smile. Behind gritted teeth. I'd also get a better job as soon as I could...

We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
