    Should I or Shouldn't I?????

    Today, my boss (the CEO) joked that I needed to start wearing cycling shorts to work (due to my terrible road rash).

    So, I called witnesses in the office and he said it again!

    So, here's the question. For a Monday 8AM meeting, I'm thinking of wearing cycling clothes from the waist down, and my normal Brooks Brothers suit from the waist up. So, should I do it or is it over the top?

    Nearly everyone in the meeting will be in my 'chain of command' and everyone knows that I'm a very serious boss, but I try to be bring light heartedness to situations as a pressure release in a stressful environment...

    As long as you have a nice black greasy chainring mark on your inner calf, you'll be fine.

    PS: Oh, and also as long as the shorts are black, otherwise you could get written up for sexual harassment.

    Although tucking your shirt tail will be a touch awkward.

    Have you considered a skort? I mean, now that you're shaving you legs...

    But then again, the shorts could be a good Angus Young look

    Go for it!

    I say Go For It! And, consider a great kilt for a manly, over the shorts look. Utilikilts makes great ones! I bought one for a cyclist boyfriend, once, and he looked really great in it.

    I won't this week...the road rash is way too disgusting.

    But, I will do it and post a picture once I'm healed.

    Suggest that you get to the meeting first and get a good seat. Nobody will know what is on your lower half if it is hidden by a table (providing you don't have to stand up to greet people - tho' standing up each time somebody enters the room would increase the shock factor). If you don't have to stand up early on, once the meeting is over you'll be able to surprise them!

    Oh, black would be more appropriate for something as formal as a meeting with the bosses.

    Don't forget the camera.
