Lech, would you WEAR a fancy borsalino if someone GAVE it to you?”
No, no, wife already tried that on me. If I’m gonna wear a hat I’ll buy the hat. It’s the same principle regardless of who pays for it. My personal wardrobe is basically the only aspect of the world where I can say NO, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE FANCIER, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE ANYTHING, IT’S GONNA BE JUST AS BARE BONES AS I DAMN WELL WANT IT TO BE AND NOBODY CAN MAKE ME DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT.
Except for the new suits and shirts and ties I guess. Goddamn it.
A group of on-duty Sanitation supervisors is under investigation for allegedly buying booze and chilling in their cozy department car for hours Monday night after the blizzard stranded a bus and three snowplows blocks away.
The city Department of Investigation is probing the incident after witnesses said four snow blowers blew off their duties to get blitzed, buying two six-packs of beer from a Brooklyn bodega. The workers then walked five blocks to their car, which was in 20 inches of snow in the middle of 18th at McDonald avenues near the F train entrance, passing the stuck bus and idle plows on 18th Avenue between Third and Fourth streets.
The four remained in the idling sedan until morning — then told their bosses they could do nothing about the blizzard because they had run out of gas, one witness said.
“They just sat in their car all night with the heat running,” the witness said.”
Will definitely check that one out.
How’s this for thrifty,
eBay has a copy for $1.19 plus 3.95 shipping.
Sounds like a good read, even the NYTimes gives it
a qualified thumbs up. ha ha.
dibs,
looks like a good seller on ebay, I’ve also bought fixtures
there but not from that specific seller. Thanks for the info.
“Brooks Brothers running their annual sale up to tomorrow. Good deals there.”
I ordered a suit on xmas day. They were running a 40% off plus an additional 15% off sale for two days. Is this what it’s like being a woman?
All of my good suits and shirts and ties are brooks bros. I finally decided to start dressing like a grown up lawyer and have been systematically upgrading from the cheap crappy stuff I have always worn. You know, try to look the part and whatnot.
If I had my druthers I would live in a trailer somewhere and own almost nothing. Accumulating stuff seriously depresses me.

I’ve had to go to physical therapy two different times in my life. Both times it proved to be completely useless.

^^^^^^^^^^
And no, just because I’m finally buying grownup lawyer clothing doesn’t mean I’m springing for a fancy borsalino.
