who thinks that their department is...

D

i was talking more in terms of a boss who rings up at 11 p.m. on a saturday night to talk about research projects!

ewwwwwwww...

I thought you meant well dressed and armed with a sharp tongue.

11pm on a Saturday night!

Eek...yes, I'm glad my supervisors have no expectation of that sort of availability. That said, they do expect me to adhere to deadlines.

hehe my sup is about as far from well dresses as can get. open toes sandals and shorts with socks.. yuk!

before i started here i used to care what i looked like.. now i figure what does it matter !

We are a well-dressed department. Both my supervisors defy the dodgy academic bad fashion rule & are really great dressers .I have had female students of mine hang back, not to ask me a thoughtful question on the seminar topic, nooo, to ask me where I bought my dress. I can't afford to buy designer clothes but I have a few bits that were either gifts or I inherited and I expect this isn't going to win me any favours but I have to say the difference and superiority to high street is obvious. Better fabrics and cuts and the clothes tend to last and last.

I was given a beautiful leather Mulberry bag a few years ago for a big birthday & it is so well made that I think it is more like a 'bag for life' than anything I would buy or use from the high street. More economical & environmently friendly. I can get all my books, papers, teaching work in it, or use it as an over night bag. Its a style classic and will never go out of fashion - the bag equivalent of a lbd

i cant imagine most people where i work would know a designer label ...

C

A fashion void.
