Jacket on sale...

[Justin B.]

If anybody needs a "fall" jacket this one is on sale and I just ordered a silver one.  I work in a fairly hostile environment and I have no place "clean" to hang my jacket so I hate wearing a $300 jacket to work and figured this one might do the trick.  And, at about $63 closeout, the price seems right...  I have never had a Fieldsheer jacket before but seems pretty much everybody carries them.

Not an endorsement just a heads-up...

OK, both my wife and I work in public education. Does that qualify as a "hostile environment"? So where is it, Justin, that you can't even hang up a jacket?

Thaere's a cat in my department that used to be a guard at a juvenile prison. He referred to the joint as "Gladiator School".

I work in a manufacturing environment and just have a nail to hang it on next to the machine I feed for 12 hours a day.  I'd rather hang a $60 jacket there than a $300 jacket...

Justin,

I've followed your postings for anow, and I've seen the neat items you fabricate and design for the group (and I've bought a few). By contrast, I read and hear about the A$$wholes who are whining because they might not get the golden parachutes they don't deserve for running organizations in the ground and consequently impoverishing thousands of honest people.

Lest you wonder, I served my country in two wars and remain a civil servant. Nonetheless, something about your posting makes me question: What's wrong with this picture?  

That's my $.02 (US) worth (now worth about $.01 in most foreign currencies). With apologies to our international colleagues who might wonder WTF I'm talking about, I'll step off the soapbox.

Thanks, John.  I made it between wars, although I'm classified as a "Vietnam Era" vet.  I enlisted due to the draft still going on and me wanting to pick what I did instead of Uncle Sam.  By the time I got out of AIT everybody had came home.

I'm in a manufacturing environment for the primary reason that I was at the end of my rope dealing with bone-headed computer users all day.  When you have to talk yourself into going to work every day, and then finding it increasingly difficult to keep a civil tone once you get there, it's time for a change!  Wish I had my old Net Admin job back where I could sit in the server room all day and not have to be bothered, but if wishes were fishes...

But, do-nothing executives with golden parachutes frost my ass as well...
