Office Attire

For the first time in at least a decade, the Blurbomat editorial staff has to work at a full-time job that has a dress code. A Dress Code. The karmic damage to corporate America from the loosening of dress codes to the now ubiquitous Office Casual can be seen in the current economic situation of near recession. It’s fairly straightforward economic theory:

Tie = Profits.
Pantyhose = Profits.

Yes, the women are required to wear pantyhose! Blurbomat wishes it was kidding on this one.
