Day: January 10, 2008

The blurriness here was an unintended touch of authenticity after a particularly long day.

G’nite.

I’ve been wearing ties to work lately. Some people have noticed and some others have even commented. I normally don’t do this, but it’s a new year, and a new company, and I must sadly concede that people often treat you differently — at least in Regensburg, around our office — if you’re wearing a tie. Sorry ladies, if you start showing up in ties, you’ll likely be treated very differently.

Don’t expect me to complete the outfit with sport coats or heaven forbid a full-on suit any time soon. Baby steps, here people, and hopefully just one of them.

I didn’t hit upon the idea for this until last night, so Part 1 remains legendary. At least, I thought I looked good (a buddy at work mentioned that too, and he’s a pretty snazzy dresser). And besides, Sarah saw me in that outfit before she left for K.C. the other day.

So, here we go with the first installment. Today‘s pick: black shirt, greenish-gray pants and a gold tie.
