- Dress Codes! We discussed them a year or so ago, for librarians.
- I think I never saw so many flames thrown, until Internet-and-anxiety.
- Can't people come up with their own dress codes if they think they need
- them? All I will say is that if you have one, or desire one, consider
- most carefully what you mean and spell it out clearly. Test it on
- soemone with a high-school education if you think it's clear enough.
- I recall my favorite restaurant dress code, posted on the entrnace door
- at King's Barbecue, Petersburg, Va. It read: "Patrons must be completely
- dressed with shoes"! Being afflicted with the malady called "literalism"
- as the BBC's Denis Norden describes, I find this a wonderful code to test
- sometime. 8-)
- Some folks have wondered about where some regulars find the time to send
- all this dribble. I use quiet time at my reference desk duties, or barring
- that about 1/2 hour a day out of professional reading time.
- Maybe some take more time, I try not to.
