@RickMeasham: Oh no, not a shirt! Call me again when it's a tailored shirt, long sleeves (ie, not a $30 "engineer's" business shirt) with french cuffs, with cufflinks (silk knots are acceptable, pre 6pm). Preferably in something other than plain white.
@jyri - No occasion - just realised that every other manager here (and, I'm a pseudo-manager) wore one every day - so I thought I should at least appear to try and fit in.
Unfortunately, I just can't bring myself to do the boring variety... so I have some really nice combos :)
@malach: let's hope that the number of comments you get equal the number of opportunities for promotion in the near future. Bleak managers 0 - stylish, innovative and resourceful managers 1 :)

@RickMeasham - Just because most of the rest of the industry looks slovenly, that doesn't mean I have to follow along :)

I've already had the promotion, now I'm waiting for the payrise that should come with it :)

@jyri - do it! :)

no, no promotion is all about more responsibility, more meetings, longer hours and, apparently, ties. Don't get side tracked now :)
