D'oh!

So, I'd been at work for a good three hours before one of my bosses came up to me and said, "do you know there's a gun on the back of your t-shirt?" This being daycare, we're expected to not wear things like that. I know and fully support this rule, so it was really embarrassing. Once again I remind myself to not get dressed until my brain has come online (although since that doesn't actually happen at all some days, you can understand why I don't follow that particular piece of advice terribly well).

Oh my! I can imagine how embarrassing that must have been, considering how much of a struggle it is sometimes to stop small boys from playing with toy guns, or pretending that other things are guns. But I have to ask - what sort of shirt is that - a concert t-shirt? a commemorative shirt from the "chicks with guns" Halloween party? a Farscape shirt with a space gun on it?

It's a Chaos Punks t-shirt. Chaos Punks is one of the comics done by mamoulian. The front just has a fairly small logo and says Chaos Punks, which is all I looked at this morning. The back, I'd forgotten, has three people holding pistols of some sort. Luckily, none of the kids noticed anything. :)

Unlike most folks, I'm the *most* awake first thing in the morning. But late afternoon... evening... I start to fade out.

I seem to be most awake around nine or ten at night, sometimes lasting until midnight or one (not the past week or so, though). Mornings, on the other hand, I'm completely useless. All I want to do is still be asleep.

Oh, that *is* embarassing! When I worked at a daycare, they had their own T-shirts with the daycare's logo on it that we were expected to wear. It wasn't exactly a uniform, as they came in several different colors, and we could wear any kind of pants or skirts with it, (though not shorts). So we didn't have those sorts of problems, thank goodness.

I'd worn the shirt with the intention of changing when I got to work (the walk is a long and sweaty one) but this morning I was tired, running a little late, and felt so icky that I thought putting a clean shirt on might actually be counter productive, and so I ran around in the t-shirt all morning. Won't make that mistake again.

LOL That sounds like something I would do.

I got to rib my team leader a bit about it, because it's her job to notice things like that with the staff that she is responsible for and she let me go all morning without even noticing, lol. It was just unfortunate that my boss was walking up the stairs behind me and had plenty of opportunity to stare at my back.

Oh my! Llinos and I have been talking about uniforms and what people wear to work the last couple of days and as apposed to England we in Norway aren't that conformative when going to work. We don't wear suits or uniforms for office jobs or things like daycare. I have to wear scrubs at the hospital though, even if I'm an office person and don't treat the patiens in any other way than saying hullo and good bye. :D

That sounds pretty much the same as in the States. There are a few daycare centers that have some sort of uniform, usually a logoed shirt and limits on trousers. At the place I'm at now, it's pretty loose, though. Nothing too revealing, nothing with obscene language or inappropriate images (basically, no images of nudity, weapons, foul gestures, etc.). Easy enough to follow as long as you pay at least some attention to what you are wearing, which clearly I wasn't yesterday, lol.

Oops... Oh well...could've been worse...you could've gone postal and brought a gun to the daycare!

Wait, that would be me...
=D

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Sounds like things are really rough up there these days. I hope it gets better soon or else you find a different job.

*hugs*

I was kidding...really! ;) I just don't have much patience with rugrats. Could never work with 'em on a daily basis as you do.

In fact, someone from Maintenance just brought some printouts that she found in the trash, that she's pretty sure were left by one of the boys who've been loitering here this summer. Porn. Graphic porn.

WTF?! I don't get paid enough for this!

Thanks for the hugs...I need 'em...
=D

It really is pretty funny. :D

I find myself still dressing for work by following the dress code of my high school. Which mostly translates, for me, as no T-shirts with writing on them. I do remember, when I was in high school, one girl being forced to turn her sweatshirt inside out. It sported a cartoon rabbit who was somehow "inappropriate" -- maybe something about "bare buns"?

I have a long standing rule of not wearing t-shirts anywhere other than for working out and lounging about at home, but this year I'm using a coin operated laundry machine for the first time in something like eleven years and I'm forever trying to scrounge for coins, so suddenly t-shirts have been elevated to acceptable work attire (I can get away with it because everyone else wears t-shirts too - daycares have a pretty relaxed dress code usually, lol).
