The times, they are a'changin'
That sound you heard was the sighs of regret from the guys at work. Last week, we got word that effective Labor Day, even the men who do not have any customer contact must start wearing neckties. Now, this isn't enough for most of us to start looking for other work, but it is very disappointing. A lot of us are going to need to buy new shirts and ties. It's been over two years since I last wore a tie and it has been a great two years. Don't get me wrong, I still appreciate my job, enjoy the work I do and like the people with whom and for whom I work. I just HATE neckties. Oh, well, they do keep gravy from staining your shirt.

What does the Government have to do with this blog? His company requires ties, not the government.

I contend that in the heat of Texas it is a sin to require a man to wear a tie or suit. It is just plain non- productive. After only a few hours in the sun, any Texas vehicle will bring on a flood of sweat and a tie only helps to hold the heat close to a sticky sweaty neck. . Personally I do not trust a man that wears a suit or tie during a Texas summer. It amazes me that the government wants to turn normal law abiding citizens into criminals. Guess they feel like they must keep sticking their nose into our private lives to justify their position. I heard the next big federal push is going to be a regulation on the salt contents of all purchased food, guess they don't want us to look at their failure to keep "crap" out of meat and lettuce and the mystery food (tomatoes or peppers or ?).
