it seems like every workplace has its polo shirt with the company logo on it. and it seems like every workplace gives me one that is 2 sizes too big.
st. vincent family center is no exception.
st. vincent gives you a choice of colors (black or white) and a choice of sizes (s,m, l, xl), and as nice as that is, it isn't nice enough. because i don't look good in those colors and i need an extra small.
i think it is proof positive that americans are getting toooooo fat when every single place you work has extra larges but none of them has extra smalls. (it's probably some form of discrimination for which i could sue (and win), but i won't.)
so, anyway, what i ended up with was a st. vincent family center polo shirt in white, small. i would have ended up with a st. vincent family center polo shirt in black, small were it not for the fact that the smalls only come in white. which is also probably some form of discrimination for which i could sue (and win), but i won't.
st. vincent has an interesting twist on the polo shirt/jeans on friday deal......you're allowed to wear jeans on friday provided you wear the polo shirt, too. it's an idea i haven't seen before and i gotta say, i think it makes sense. i like it. and when i say "i like it," i mean, "i don't like it."
i don't like wearing polo shirts. i don't look good in them. neither does abby. there's something about our body shape or our head shape or our necks or something but we do not look good in polo shirts. that's A.
B is, i especially don't look good in polo shirts that are not a size extra small.
and 3 is, i look like el crap-o in a white polo shirt.
so, the question is.......do i wear the requisite polo shirt and jeans today or do i forgo the jeans, wear something other than the polo shirt, and stick out like a sore thumb with a rebellious streak? i think the answer is clear - i absolutely must wear the polo shirt.
otherwise, i will not look like a "team player," and if there's anything worse than not looking good in a polo shirt, it's not being a "team player."
which, ok, i can be a team player as well as the next guy, but why don't my teams ever wear jerseys instead of polo shirts?
i look good in jerseys.
