The Clothes maketh the Man

It was rather interesting the difference having a 'dress down day' at work had today. Not that it made any difference to the work it was more that there was a subtle but very noticable change to the atmosphere with people in jeans and t-shirts as opposed to shirts and ties.

Not that every day is going to be a dress down day mind you. They only have them every few weeks and their usually held for a charity. If you want to leave the shirt and tie at hope your have to pay.

One of my fellow trainees forgot it was dress down day and still turned up in a shirt. But he was very philosopical about the whole thing and simply shrugged and got on with the work. As he deemed it, he was happy as he hadn't forgotten anything important like his work folder.

We had a random conversation start after talking about the phonetic alphabet and it was suggested that we come up with a new Phonetic alphabet for Chavs. Yes I know it certainly was a random conversation.

It's started raining again this evening. Some people are referring to us as having a Indian summer, if the rain keeps up it will be more likely we'll be having a english winter.

There will be a fair bit of running about this weekend as not only will I have the shopping to do, I will also be having to revise some of my training material ( i thought learned about Space marines was tough) and head up north to see some of the extended family as my Brother in law who was baptised on Tuesday will be getting confirmed as a member on Sunday.

Well at least being busy keeps me out of trouble.

I hope :-)

Later folks
