Hello from National Correctional Employee Appreciation Week!
This week, to thank us for our hard work, the prison is providing daily treats. Today was rootbeer float day...tomorrow nachos....Friday BBQ. Some of the other prison workers will be enjoying a steak dinner...others, a shoeshine. I think I would prefer the shoeshine to yesterday's "pop and popcorn," but the breakfast burritos on Monday were tasty!
And now, a fashion lesson from a recent prison email:
"With the warmer weather upon us it is a good time to revisit 4469-01, Appearance and Dress Code, particularly with respect to non-uniformed staff. The regulation does allow for wearing of "dress gauchos or capris" and provides the following definitions:
Capris/Crop Pants: A style of pants that is loose fitting and designed to end mid-calf or just below the calf with slightly flared legs.
Gauchos: A style of pants that is loose fitting and designed to end mid-calf or just below the calf with legs that are flared to resemble a skirt.
With both definitions, the key points to remember the fit (LOOSE), the length (MID-CALF) and that they are to be "dress" versions of these garments. To be allowed, the article of clothing must meet these definitions, regardless of how they are marketed."
For my remaining two weeks, I'm sticking to slacks.
Makes me wonder about the code for footwear.
ReplyDeleteHmm, you have needed combat boots to survive. Or, how about sneakers since you have to sneak around the rules for ordering medical tests. Then again, there are times when ballet slippers were needed to dance around the demanding patients. Maybe now you could go for flip/flops since you really don't care. Oh, this could go on and on.
Can you wear heels?? I can see those might have shank potential...
