Coding Barefoot

My company has a huge system conversion scheduled for Memorial Day weekend. Most of the IT staff is either scheduled to be here working, or required to be close to home for the weekend to help with any problems. As an early thank you, they are throwing us a “beach party” today in the office. Part of the beach party theme is a relaxed dress code. A very relaxed dress code. Bathing suits are not allowed, but shorts & sandals are good. And to top it all off, there is a Hawaiian shirt contest. And since I don’t have any Hawaiian shirts (as attested to by GF here), I had to borrow one.

So I’m at work and I’m wearing my borrowed and extremely loud (I wouldn’t have it any other way) Hawaiian shirt, shorts and tevas. Actually, I took the tevas off. That’s where the post title came from. Anyway, I just wanted to say – this is cool. Mind you, I’d rather be on a beach with a margarita, but if you have to work, this is the way.

We had a margarita party for Cinqo de Mayo. It was a blast. Small tech companies kick ass.

Unfortunately for us here, they stopped serving alcohol on-site years and years ago. I wanted to man the beer keg for our "beach" party, but alas there is no keg...
