Might have just been my parents but I remember ironing clothes being so integral to life during childhood but I think I’ve ironed maybe a dozen things as an adult. What happened?

    Funny thing is: I switched from cheap T shirts to dress shirts after I bought one good quality one for a job interview.

    They don’t get hot in the heat, wick away moisture, keep you warm when it’s cold, don’t shrink or wrinkle, last a good 10 years of heavy use and look professional no matter who you’re with.

    I don’t know why my parents’ generation ever abandoned them.

        I hate to say it but its kind of true.

        I have zero care nor concern about what I wear on video, and that includes some pretty hefty level clientele. I was on with some c suite assholes the other day while wearing a TMNT hoodie to explain how they wasted a bunch of money on a bad design and now they need to spend more.

        Not one comment and they signed the contract the following morning.

        I think its because the people who truly do not give a shit are the ones most capable.

        (Caveat: I’m only good and known at the stupid shit that I do, and consider myself 100% dumbass for those things that are not what I do.)

          I rarely even activate my camera, but I try to make such a good job that they all accept whatever I throw at them.

          No pants? Well, but he fixed our burning pile of shit codebase last week, remember?
