[Vision2020] Body jewelry

[Janesta Carcich]

Many businesses have a dress code. You are making a
choice to wear something you could change on a
temporary basis while you work. Much like clothing. 

Here is the flip side for you. My job requires that I
dress casual. I LOVE to get dressed up for work, and
have acquired some nice clothing through the years. I
have very little in terms of "casual wear". I have
ALWAYS hated wearing the same thing twice in a week.
*chuckle* a little quirk of mine...  However, my boss
wants me casual. *shrug* He signs the paycheck. It
doesn't affect who "I" am, or my expressing myself in
any way. I can dress up on my own time. He owns my
time while I am at work and is paying me, so I do as
he says.  

I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your quest
for employment.
