Office casual

There hasn't been much that's post-worthy going on lately, hence no updates to the blog. Yesterday, though, I learned something cool about my office that got me so excited W. was laughing at me all night. The big news is......I can wear jeans to work! You have no idea how happy this makes me. At least I haven't really had to wear a monkey suit much in the last few years but I have never, ever had a job where I can wear jeans to the office! Not even when I worked at a startup in S.F. This is a big plus; the new job is looking better and better :)

We were also supposed to get our first furniture delivery yesterday, a couch from Macy's. At 8:30am though they call me to tell me it's not coming because the couch is damaged and now it won't be here 'til next week. Kind of a bummer, would have been nice to have our first real piece of new furniture in the house. Luckily though since W. works from home no one had taken time off yesterday to wait for the delivery. Having someone at home for stuff like this is pretty cool. W's been able to meet with contractors, repairmen, etc. during the day when otherwise we'd have to wait forever to get a weekend appointment.

Oh, and P. is coming to visit from Philly this weekend. I just saw him last week when I was in Philly for a conference, but it'll be great to have another visitor here in Boston. He also asked us to play in the volleyball tournament he's in town for. The Wharton "B" team is short a couple of folks so we're filling in. Should be fun, since we haven't played since we moved to Boston. But then again, P. said, "Well, it's b-school 'B' level" and W. said, "So more like rec?" P: "Uh, yeah." OK...we'll see how it goes.

I. Am. So. Jealous.
I can't believe you get to wear jeans! That is so awesome. I totally understand your glee Karen. Working in a law firm, I am in a suit almost every day except maybe for casual Fridays where the wildest anyone gets is a pair of khakis!
Enjoy! I am totally envious of your cute-jeans-wearing dress code!

Haha, Suzi! See, you understand my bliss! I actually haven't had to wear a suit on a daily basis in a very long time. I thought most offices still had a business casual policy, except for meetings. Poor you. But I bet you find a way to spice up your outfits anyway!
