Captain Tightpants



I forgot to put my jeans into my workout bag this morning.

At Fidelity, this would have required action on my part - when it happened, I always wound
up going by a store on the way in to the office and buying some pants - and a shirt, also,
since shirts at Fidelity had to have collars.

Here at Go Daddy, it just means that I get some weird stares :) Shorts and T-shirts are just
fine - and there's nothing that I know of in the dress code that stipulates a particular
amount of looseness in the shorts; so there's no reason that a fellow can't come to work in
his Lycra britches :) So what happens is that somebody sees me, their eyebrows go up, and I
say "I forgot to pack my jeans when I went to the gym" and then their eyes roll and they shake
their head and then we go on about our business :)

I must admit, however, that I'm hoping that my boss does say something - see, I have something
else I can wear in my workout bag, if he decides that having an employee in Spandex is out
of the question. So I'm hoping that he brings it up -

Boss: Jim, why are you wearing those pants?
Me: Boss, I forgot to pack my jeans when I went to the gym this morning.
Boss: Don't you have anything else to wear?
Me: Yes, I do have something else in my gym bag.
Boss: Well, go put it on then!
Me: Uh, Boss - it's a Speedo....
Boss: Uh............never mind.
