It's the oldest thing going in the workplace. People show up on Monday morning with their nice new clean outfit...it so predictable! "John, new shirt you got there? Looking sharp big man!" or "Helen, did you just get that new blouse, I love the colors!" Oh my friggen head is all I can say. Why do people feel the need to buy new clothes? Are they starved for attention because their normal duties are sub par? I mean, if you were good at your job you wouldn't need to be dressed like Tom Cruise. Hell, you'd show up looking like some shlub and still get the praise of your boss's boss. Because it's not the clothing that gets you there, it's your abilities, your performance. Stay in school. Study hard, be good at [at least] one thing, because your clothes really don't matter. If you're a woman, either be good at your job or at least be good looking. The clothes don't matter, you'd look good in a burlap bag. I'm convinced that women dress only to impress other women – because guys could give a rat's ass what kind of shoes you have on today, or if your Anne Klein shirt goes with your Coach handbag, or if your panties match your scarf. Well, maybe the last one is interesting, but that's not the point. The point is, guys that buy new clothes just to show up their coworkers are thinking things like "look at me, look at me! I have new clothes and I look sharp today and you don't because you can't afford new clothes" or "you have no taste to be wearing that same tired old polo shirt with the margarine stain on the midsection. Enough already people. So go buy your new fancy clothes, and good luck with it.
