okay hi
hi um yeah i'd like to talk about how you dress for work and and um what do you normally what type of outfit do you normally have to wear
well i work in uh corporate control so we have to dress kind of nice so i usually wear skirts and sweaters in the winter time slacks i guess and in the summer just dresses
um-hum
we can't even well we're not even really supposed to wear jeans very often
so it really doesn't vary that much from season to season since the office is kind of you know always the same temperature
and is
right right is there is there um any is there a like a code of dress where you work do they ask
so
not formally
right
but it's kind of understood that we're supposed to dress a little bit nice a lot of times we have to go over to uh like Jerry Junkins' office and Bill Ellsworth's office to deliver stuff
right
and we prepare a lot of foils for Marvin and Bill so we have to dress a little bit nice we're not
right right and does it does it change i guess um you can can you judge like depending on what you think you'll be doing that day
yes now you know if if everybody like in August when everybody's on vacation or something we can dress a little more casual or
right
ice storms of course you know we all came in in our tennis shoes but i guess that would have to do with the weather but um
yes
yeah yeah well it it that's right and it
unless it's an extremely you know an unusual day
yeah and it was usually uh also uh where i was it was um in in engineering and and it was it was a casual office there was no formal dress code but
um-hum
um uh usually engineers are expected to to dress you know little more professionally it just in case things would come up during the day sometimes unexpected meetings or a client would come in and wanna see you
yeah
um-hum
right
uh other times it could be very casual if you knew you would be at a desk all day and nobody would see you um
yeah or um-hum what area do you work in
uh well i was i was in a uh private consulting firm so um and uh and uh anyway um right now i'm i'm not i'm not there but but anyway
um
okay
um and season really same season to season um uh it changes with the weather you know uh wear light clothing i guess if it's hot out but um
it with the
yeah
but then usually in the summer it's cold in the offices because the air conditioner's doing its job so well
that's
that's true and and i think also that um the women actually have uh uh you have a little bit more variety maybe maybe lighter cotton clothing in the summer and woolens in the winter whereas the
oh yeah
the men often have to wear shirt and tie no matter right right right what time of what time of the year that's right
it
uh-huh just suits and there's not a whole lot of fabric variance there and they can't have a rayon suit so
that's that's true so um do they were were there um are you allowed to um be casual like if it was summer were were you allowed to wear sandals and those that not really
not really i think i mean it's kind of unwritten but i think we're supposed to wear hose and and shoes you know most of the people do anyway
right
uh most of the women wear uh most actually most of the women wear suits more than anything else
oh i see uh-huh
but i'm not in that professional of a position so i don't i'm not expected to do that
okay and and
and also like the um also the the all the supporting kind of stuff secretaries and clerks and things are they also they have same similar similar yeah
um-hum
yes pretty much i'm a secretary yeah
yeah ours were ours were different i guess it seemed like they they were much there was much more casual dress although i don't think everybody looked at that you know as a good thing
yeah yeah but there's really no written rule i guess they couldn't write that down that might be discrimination or something i don't know i mean i've never been told what to wear or what not to wear
right
that's that's right
it's just you know judging from what everyone else wears is how i determine
yeah
yeah and
you know what i feel a comfortable in you don't wanna stand out too much
that's right
yeah that's true and um hm well that's it
well that pretty much covers the subject well thanks for calling me
yeah i don't know what else what more we can say about that that's
oh it's been nice talking to you and i guess we just hang up huh okay all right nice talking to you bye-bye
yep that's all good-bye okay bye
