Default Re: incredibly unfortunate situation for me but funny if you read it

Jeans shorts on your first day? That is a major blunder. Almost as bad as not asking the interviewer or at least the temp agency what the dress code is there.

a) better to be over dressed than under dressed the first day

b) never judge the attire of a company on a friday

c) jean shorts are nowhere near the same thing as jeans

[/ QUOTE ]

In this situation I could have been wearing khaki long pants and it still wouldnt have made a difference. So in this case, jeans would have been the same as jean shorts.

There is a big difference between jeans and shorts.

How do you not ask specifically what the dress code is?

I worked at a company with a casual dress code, and I'd have sent you home for wearing jean shorts, even on the fairly lax Even More Casual Friday.

Clearly you did not read the post. It was my 3rd day and the first two days I came dressed professionally. Please don't respond unless you read it completly.

If you are sensitive, don't make threads about how stupid you are in OOT.

Walking in to your first day at work with jean shorts and sneakers is unbelievably retarded. Not only that, but deciding it was appropriate based on what other people were wearing was stupid. Walking out of the building and swearing was stupid. And then you proceeded to go home and EMAIL the receptionist and ask her to dinner. And now, instead of laughing it all off in OOT, you're getting emo.

Like I mean...really. People who are good at life don't do these things. They just know better. Take your jean shorts and throw them in the fireplace. That should set you off in the right direction.

Cheers!

I apologize for coming off sounding like a douche, but if you read the same comment about jean shorts 6 times when you are honestly posting a mistake you made for others to enjoy and laugh at, it starts to get old to hear the same thing about jean shorts.
