A typical day for me is dress pants or khakis a shirt and a blazer, sweater or fleece. Shoes are very practical – tennis shoes or something a bit dressier but without a heel. I’m probably the only staff member who wears dresses and then usually only in September and May – when it is warm enough for bare legs! You’re right in that whatever we wear has to work for riding a bicycle or a snowmobile. My “commute” is one mile, so if I’m wearing a skirt I often fold it carefully and put it in my backpack until I get to school. It’s warmer that way and riding a bike in a pencil skirt is pretty much impossible. However, I have learned over the years that one can ride a snowmobile sidesaddle!

We aren't supposed to wear casual clothes, but I don't have to walk/bike through the rain and snow to get to work. It seems like it'd be a pain to do that in dress pants or a dress!

I've always wondered about it, seems counter-intuitive. I get coming out of the saturated ground, but why always on the pavement?katehttp://www.0521kt.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
