that's all that matters. I did the heels and hose thing for over 20 years when I worked in an office and/or hospital, now my "uniform" consists of a t-shirt and shorts until it gets really cold, then I begrudgingly give up my shorts and go with sweat pants, although not the kind with the elastic at the ankle ... hate those. I'm tall, so usually most pants end up looking like capri pants anyway, so guess I should just cave in and buy capris.
A lot of people think because I work at home, I sit in jammies all day, but that idea doesn't even appeal to me. Plus, first thing in the morning, I have to walk my doggie, and I really do not think the neighbors need or want to see me walking around in my PJs. But it is a personal choice ... if jammies or scrubs or even typing in the nude make you happy and productive, I say go for it. :-)
My professionalism is not determined by what I wear. The UPS or Fed Ex guy would probably fall over dead if I answered the door in heels and pearls. :-) But they both comment on how happy I always seem, and that must be a reflection of my love for my job and the comfort of being in the environment I choose to create for myself. :-)
Yikes .. this was supposed to be a short little post supporting the lady who wanted to wear scrubs. Guess it's not only the docs I type for who are long-winded ... oops!
Happy Saturday everyone!

Whatcha wearing and who you're emailing
I had read someone's complaints about complaining yesterday, while browing the board. I got an email from one of my girlfriends just now, telling me she had been called in for receiving too many emails and given a 90 day verbal warning. I used to work for a company that told me I made too many personal phone calls and worried I was not dressed professionally enough. I used to have to pick up the CEO's cleaning and make sure all the buttons were on his shirts and there were no wrinkles. Filling him a pitcher of water on his desk and leaving no fingerprints on a glass to go with it. Let's remember that, today, as we sit in our sweats, being comfortable, or if the phone rings and we visit for 10 minutes, or if we get a cute email and want to send it to friends. No boss towering over us......at least in our home.
Wear scrubs, they're comfortable and you fell like you getting dressed for work See message.
Go to a local scrub shop, you can get a big bag full for about 100 bucks
I bet you're right. Should have thought of that. Having an off day.

You're welcome ~ I thought she was ...
part of the Kodak family, too, until I read the book I was talking about.
COMFY COMFY COMFY
I wear those real comfy pants that tie and are flared. They kind of look like slacks. I write them all off on my taxes for "uniforms" because my circulation goes in jeans.
Comfy
Personally I find them to be very light weight and comfy. The headphones are adjustable in size and collapsable (which in my experience is great because they don't tend to break easily). I'm not ashamed to say to say that I have been known to roll over a pair or two with my office chair or throw them off hastily to answer a call or a child in need and then forget and step on them. waaaaaaaaah!
You're welcome, thought to be fun. Will be adding falling snowflakes and

Thanks for the info! Are they comfy too?
I knew about Bose noice cancelling headphones for $100, but just hated to pull out the money. I was going to wait for the new year to purchase them. I want to give these a try! Thank you so much for the info. It was sweet of you. Maybe I will let go of my MQ stock too for these.(HOHO) Merry Christmas to you and all on the forum :)
So comfy. Wish it would work for me.
I'm short, and my legs are really, really short. I don't reach the end of a recliner. Anyway, it's best if I sit upright. I fall asleep now while upright! LOL
I thought the same thing. Justify the EXTRA MONEY they're keeping
You know full well if the foreign MT was the same price they'd quit looking there too. It's all about the money. Who's he fooling?
I got a nice comfy one at Staples for $99 - sm
relatively cushy and has arm rests too (if you want arm rests that is). Nice grey suede-like material too. I still have to squinch around sometimes just for a change in position but I think that is unavoidable with sitting so long.
I love to sit on my chair it is comfy.

great comfy chairs
Hi! There are office chairs by Herman Miller that offer great comfortable chairs designed for people that sit most of the day. They are expensive starting from $500 and up. I got the middle of the line and I have to tell you that I don't mind sitting now and worth every penny. I still take my breaks but this chair is like heaven. they flex with the movement of the person. you can also go to cns.com for a full description and ordering. you would not regret it!
Scrubs?
Did the previous poster ever receive any feedback as to where to get MT scrubs? I can't seem to get back to that page. How do we get to the pages from earlier in the week. Thanks!
Scrubs
I shop at thrift stores. I have several darling sets of scrubs I wear around the house for little price. I am going to donate them to my Doctor's office girls soon. They are in excellent condition.
Scrubs
Thank you all for your responses. I am wondering if I have found as close as I am going to get? I went to www.logosoftwear.com . Then I selected "Instant Embroidery Logos". Then I scrolled down the page to the different types of embroidery and select "Occupational". In this section, there is a logo, LGO193, of a computer operator who it seems is wearing a headset? Is this maybe as close as we can get? Let me know what you think! Thanks! Gussie

That is not bad but still looking for something else but probably not going to find it. Thanks for finding that!
Scrubs
Hi Sandy, I agree it's not the greatest, but I haven't found anything better yet either. Sigh!
How about Scrubs?
I keep seeing it advertised on a couple of other stations other than NBC. I'm thinking they are reruns though. I really enjoyed that show. Even after going to their website I am confused about when/where to watch it and if they are new episodes or not. Anyone have a clue?
Any WAH MTs wear scrubs?
I'm tired of wearing out my jeans (not to mention that they aren't that comfortable to sit in all day) and want to be more professional than working in sweats -- I used to work in Medical Records and wore scrubs, and I loved them.
Hubby caught me surfing ebay for scrubs and laughed at me -- he didn't see why I would wear a uniform if I didn't have to, but the way I see it -- it makes me feel more professional and is a comfortable and effortless solution that is better than bathrobes and slippers. Am I crazy or silly for wearing a uniform to work when I work in my dining room?
Any other scrub-wearing MTs out there?
Scrubs and crocs. Luv em. nm

Trashed my scrubs the day I left
my job at a doctor's office, kind of a celebration ritual! Work in PJs 1 hour or so early am (right out of the bed so very unkempt) then dress for the day, then work evenings through to 1:00 am, so PJs work best for me. Most days try not to stay in the PJs all day long though. When my ex-employer and coworkers ask if I might want to return to the office, all I say is "Can I work here in my jammies???"
I wear comfy thermal pants and tank tops. sm
see no need to look professional, feel professional, in the privacy of my home. My work is professional, and that is what they get.
Even when I am what would be considered unkempt, I make a terrific line count.

Wearing off
I've had that problem in the past also. I found that carefully painting the keys with a clear nail polish works wonders.
What does wearing a vest have to do with it?
s
$62.50/every two weeks gets me top-to-bottom scrubs of three bathrooms, polishing of - sm
1200 sq ft of hardwood floors, dusting and vacuuming of four bedrooms and living room. I type while she's cleaning and make $50/hour, and I pay her $25/hour. Love her!
I can't stand wearing shoes.
Sometimes I'll wear socks in the winter if my feet get cold.
At this point I would seriously consider wearing pantyhose and going TO a job.
I said I wouldn't but this business doesn't appear to be getting better, just worse for those of us involved.
Letters wearing off on keyboard
I admit, I purchased a very inexpensive keyboard, but the letters have worn off within a month! In looking at other keyboards at different stores, it looks like they all have the same kind of stuck-on letters that would wear off pretty quickly. Can anyone recommend a keyboard that retains its letters for a very long time with a lot of use? Or has anyone tried the stickers they make to cover the keys?
Can buy scrubs anywhere and then take them to a local T-shirt/banner monogramming place. nm

I've been wearing a splint that's sorta like a retainer...sm
for years that my orthodontist made for me. I've had it replaced about every 5 years or so. It works great! The funny thing is that I pick at him that when he put me in braces at age 12 he never dreamed that 30 years later I'd STILL be coming to see him. I do have fun when I go see him because invariably there's some pre-teen or teenager who asks "so how long have you been a patient?" and when I tell them 30 years they look horrified. Then I explain that I was in braces for 18 months, retainers for a year and then returned for TMJ problems at age 20 and have been in and out every few years since then. They always give a big sigh of relief then! 
That's true. I wouldn't mind wearing the
burka thing or whatever you call it. I can't have direct sunlight on my skin anymore anyway (melanoma survivor). I would fit right in except for the freckles, green eyes and strawberry hair. I did hear there are very good horseback riding places and that would be a big draw for me of course, as I would be a real cowgirl if I could. Just don't live in the right place or time for that matter.
Chill out, all she is doing is wearing a color she obviously likes -
and black in high school, some pretty wild clothes too. Doesn't sound like she is going goth or anything. Lots of girls wear black, nothing wrong with it. Remember pick your battles and don't blow the little things out of proportion.....as for rebelling I would not consider this anywhere close to rebelling.
I wouldn't suggest wearing them while you work.
Magnets and computers don't go well together.
I've been wearing them for a year while I work with no....sm

I just had the surgery and my doc has me wearing Occunomix Neoprene gloves
I found them only on-line and at a surgical supply store, but they are great as far as I am concerned.
I wear cheapie ear buds from Target, any brand, usually Koss. Comfy, light, good sound, cheap. nm

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
