    God now I want baklava.

    Hakks can you make baklava? I'll be your sugar daddy for some baklava.

    But I want some of that awesome diamond-cut stuff. The stuff with the rosewater.

    no I can't make baklava

    What diamond-cut stuff, we make, like, everything with rosewater. Are you talking about gaz?

    Okay, now this is beginning to make more sense. Leigh and her roommates are debating this. I was called in because I have experience in the business world and thus am assumed to have knowledge of dress codes. I'm explaining that I work for a company transitioning out of the start up phase, and that I'm a guy. Dress code for us is easy. Meeting is a suit, job site visit is a polo and slacks and day to day office stuff is jeans and a shirt.

    People, and I've found that geeks especially, are very susceptible to their friends and coworkers quirks and ticks.

    If someone you're around all the time uses a certain word or phrase, or even if they cough a certain way, especially if they have a more dominant personality, though not necessarily, others will start unconsciously imitating it.

    Although the ones I'm thinking of are more denser or something. I will ask the tiny man at the Persian market. I've only ever seen them there.

    I wear dress pants and shirt and tie every day at work.

    I'm surrounded by people wearing jeans and old shirts and sweaters with holes in them.

    Those are always appropriate. Clown shoes are always acceptable except for job site visits where they may present a safety hazard.

    Personally I think peep-toed shoes are fine in a professional setting, with a suit. Sandal-type shoes - probably not so much. But sandal-type shoes are probably ok in a business casual setting.

    For women it is really difficult to quantify what's ok and not ok, because there's so much variation within each style. (i.e. pics please!)

    I have no pics. This seems to be more of a theory debate then a practical discussion since none of them work.

    i wear a tie to client sites. its over dressing, but it makes up for my being unshaven.

    also i think it gives what i say a little more cred.

    and makes up for how absurd i dress the rest of the time.
