The office was rather casual (Student Government Association). For the first few weeks, I wore shirt, tie, slacks, etc. After a while, the tie got dropped from the apparel collection with no complaints. During my last weeks on the job, jeans and t-shirts/sweatshirts/jerseys worked just fine. I wonder if a woman in the same job could have gotten away with this sort of stuff. Oh, yeah; the fact that I was physically larger than my male boss had *nothing* to do with it. :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry C.
