  • Maybe companies limit their options by establishing and maintaining a norm of office behaviour.

    Maybe. I don’t think those norms are enforced from above or anything. It’s one of those “read the room” type things. And that’s all I’m saying. Someone who would have a scantily clad anime poster in their cubicle at the engineering company I work at has failed to read the room. And thus I question their social understanding.

    I also feel like it’s the sort of thing that makes a workplace less comfortable for some people. Like, I can imagine a woman working in the very male-heavy software and engineering departments who could find such posters off-putting. Just like it would be tacky to put up posters of a supermodel in a bikini on a muscle car.

    Let’s maybe just not objectify people at work, you know?





  • I treat my cargo shorts like a purse.

    Phone in one pocket

    Wallet in a side pocket. Started doing this on a vacation in a foreign city to be less pick-pocketable, and turns out I love it.

    Another pocket contains a fuckload of little stuff. Earbuds, lip balm, contact solution eyedrops, weed pen, breath spray, car key, set of house keys and some others in a folding keyring to which I have also attached my eBike battery key and eBike lock key.

    Oil-absorbing paper in another pocket, great for keeping the adult acne at bay.

    Cargo shorts make me a card-carrying member of the Dork Squad, but damn do I love them. I can even fit my Switch in there if I want to.
