IT Workers "Twice as Likely" to Wear Heavy Metal T-shirts
According to new research, IT (information techology) staff are twice as likely to wear a heavy metal t-shirt as their non-IT counterparts. The study of 1000 office workers, by Intermedia.NET, also found IT types 34% more likely to sport a ponytail and that black jeans are 63% more popular among IT types than other workers. IT workers are also 32% less likely to wear clean clothes every day of the week than business managers (ed. - I didn't get my bad-ass Demiricous t-shirt dirty coding all day today, so why not?)
The bizarre press release goes on to cite additonal trends discovered about IT workers in what is clearly a grab for press by the researching company.

I hate wearing that damn mask...
Fortunately when NOT dealing with people the boundaries are extended.
Working in a kitchen I'm able to wear whatever I want until service time, then I have to sport my whites... this keeps me from wearing my cloths x-days in a row or skipping and wearing w/o washing... lucky ITians.
And I dislike doing laundry... one thing always determines whether or not I do it. "Have I run out of socks yet?".

Yeah, I don't know who the hell they interviewed for this, but upon further thought, it sounds like typical twisting of statistics and how they are reported and sound. If only one non IT person wore a metal shirt to work and two IT people did out of the 1000 surveyed, then IT people are twice as likely...
I've worked a lot of places where I can dress down a bit (jeans, but not usually t-shirts), but have never been able to wear metal t-shirts except on those days I'm working from home.

Technically we havent been co-workers in awhile..but still kept screwing...It lasted a total of 4 yrs til the husband found out....bummer huh ? The worst thing is that he still wanted to stay married to her but made her stop seeing me.... guess he likes seconds...!!! mmmmmmm yuck.....I was tappin that 5or6 times a week....most of the time in their house..!!!! ...It's apparent that he doesnt know anything about satisfying a woman...!!!!
So now its a bummer for both of them....him for knowing his wife was getting slammed ALOT and her for not getting any decent sex anymore...and to top it off they still have to live in the house where it all happened... oh..if those walls could talk....and they are not renters either....still have 20 yrs to pay on the house...

I must admit that, it is indeed an issue that is not easy to deal with...I diagnosed myself as a lesbian trapped in a mans body at about the age of 15 or 16.. that was the time of the first "real" girlfriend that I got to spend hours playing with...It was then, that I realized, hey.... I wish I had one of these of my own to play with.......but then I said to myself..
self... I would never get anything done and I probably wouldnt ever leave the house.. the damn thing would be wore out by now....
So I decided at that point in my life that I was addicted to women..and after living with half a dozen orso over the years and the 100s of other strays in amongst the livins...
I have to admit that I am a lesbian trapped in a mans body... I am currently searching for others with the same affliction....I wonder if maybe there is some govt funding available so I could start doing some more research......
Hey, what if there are women out there that are the same way..? They are a gay man trapped in a womans body..? wait a minute...that would explain some of the c*** hungry tramps I have ran across over the years....

Hey...this is still sticking with the topic...Cause it was "that" office job that I met and had my "other woman"...and it was at that job that I sported many Maiden,BLS,Metallica etc..shirts...
She was the prim and proper innocent little thing...but she liked the metalhead look ie..metal t-shirts,tattoos and generally the biker/metalhead look... the exact opposite of her husband....figure that one out..?

I work in a government office and I'm the only drafter. I sure as heck wear anything I want. I don't think they say much because I'm a girl and hell I stay in my cubie all day listening to my music haha I keep out of everyone's business (the whole gossip thing bites).
Although this lady (there is always ONE in every office) told me I couldnt wear my beer shirts anymore. As long as I can wear my band shirts, I'm cool.
