That’s right, for the first time in my life, I had clothes dry-cleaned. This is partly attributable to the fact that I work hard to buy clothes I can wash at home and partly attributable to the fact that, until two years ago, I held jobs that had dress codes of business casual or lower. Teaching bike classes required a very odd, specific wardrobe, none of which necessitated dry-cleaning.

But that’s all over, because when my work office moved in February, the dress code went to straight business attire. I’m not 100% sure why, if clients aren’t visiting… Maybe dressing that way makes people act more professional. Anyway, after almost a decade of evading it, I now dress professionally at work.

But nobody can keep me from wearing pajamas when I work from home. So there!
