[speaker001:] way the way I'll go ahead and start the way I work I the way I dress for work is uh this year nineteen ninety one has been really suit and tie or I shouldn't say suit but coat and tie everyday
[speaker002:] uh-huh  uh-huh
[speaker001:] a a year ago I changed jobs from being a researcher to doing marketing for the research group
[speaker002:] um-hum uh-huh
[speaker001:] which means uh kind of a I guess it's a different set of standards I guess
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so uh I I dress almost the same everyday I mean pretty much it's a white shirt and slacks and shoes and a coat
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] but it was very different before how would you dress
[speaker002:] well I'm a drafter so I just wear blue jeans and tennis shoes and I have a sweatshirt on today and that's pretty much the norm for me if I come in in a dress everybody's shocked
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I understand
[speaker002:] they ask me you know what are you doing in a dress and it's usually I haven't done my laundry lately ran out of jeans
[speaker001:] right I understand that's funny so does it change
[speaker002:] no no hum-um
[speaker001:] your your dress no so or do I guess do you have things like presentations to do or anything like that so back in my old job up until through nineteen eighty I would
[speaker002:] no hum-um um-hum
[speaker001:] usually wear blue jeans and pullover shirts and the like but probably once a month or so there was some reason that I would have to put on a suit
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] presentation customer presentation or something
[speaker002:] yeah yeah every now and then I'll get dressed up and come in but that's for my husband's job and not mine I have to go to a business meeting once a month with him but
[speaker001:] oh I see I understand uh oh well that's interesting
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] let's see uh what else about this hm it it seems like TI is pretty cut and dried with the two like two or three levels that there's the top upper management that always wears gray suits
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] and the people that don't uh I don't know if you noticed if I wanna say don't have power or don't have authority or whatever like I used to be in that research and I guess you are that we dress in the jeans and then there's kind of the
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] the branch manager level or marketing people that kind of do that middle thing
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah yeah middle middle of the road
[speaker001:] but there's not much it's nice that there's not a requirement
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum sometimes I think there should be some of these women around here look like they came off of Harry Hines
[speaker001:] for it oh yeah right yeah I guess you see those once in a while
[speaker002:] and you know the they have the no shorts deal and some of these mini skirts you know are worse than shorts ever thought about being but um
[speaker001:] sure yeah
[speaker002:] you know that's I guess that's one of the things you got to put up with when you don't have a dress code
[speaker001:] that's right that's right I guess that that isn't there a dress code something about spaghetti straps I'm not even sure what they are
[speaker002:] supposedly and backless things but I've seen those too
[speaker001:] oh yeah oh backless all right okay so this wasn't necessarily a big conversation but I think we we did it
[speaker002:] but uh yeah
[speaker001:] okay and and your name was Lisa
