| * nigelb yawns | 11:28 | |
| nigelb | in retrospect, getting up at 3:30 am wasn't such a great idea | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | nigelb: why.... were you up that early? | 13:08 |
| nigelb | czajkowski: well, I got up thirsty, then I went to check what happened to the match, and then started readinhg a book, and ended up not going back to bed | 13:09 |
| czajkowski | ugh hate those nights | 13:14 |
| nigelb | the only thing that's keping me awake is foosball ever 30 minutes :D | 13:15 |
| czajkowski | :( | 13:31 |
| czajkowski | interesting blog post, some of the stuff I'd never evn thought of http://geekfeminism.org/2010/06/20/clothes-and-geek-feminism/ I just get dressed. | 13:35 |
| czajkowski | which I found when reading http://geekfeminism.org/2010/06/17/can-you-dress-well-and-be-taken-seriously-as-a-woman-in-technology/ | 13:36 |
| czajkowski | but what is a staqndard geek uniform? | 13:39 |
| czajkowski | *standard | 13:40 |
| Pendulum | czajkowski: I've always assumed it was geeky-tshirt or polo shirt & jeans or kahkis | 13:43 |
| czajkowski | ah gotcha | 13:44 |
| czajkowski | I don't equate that to geeky though, but I guess it could be | 13:44 |
| Pendulum | well I'm specifying geeky t-shirts there | 13:46 |
| Pendulum | (or geeky polo shirts) | 13:46 |
| czajkowski | *nods* | 13:47 |
| czajkowski | the 2nd post I liked to raised some interesting points on how people dress at work | 13:47 |
| czajkowski | Pendulum: you've seen me and see how I dress, it's not geeky, but I do love my jeans and hoddys in the winter, compared to my sister I dress like a slob. so I suspect it'll depend on where you work | 13:48 |
| czajkowski | Do you think that dressing up in geek society is a privilege? | 13:48 |
| czajkowski | is a questions raised. | 13:48 |
| czajkowski | I don't think it is. I think it's how ever a person feels comfortable | 13:48 |
| Pendulum | I think dressing up + being taken seriously can be a privileged situation, but it's also pretty complicated | 13:52 |
| Pendulum | and isn't always a geek thing | 13:52 |
| Pendulum | But, I also don't think you dress particularly dressy | 13:53 |
| Pendulum | I do think it's a lot about context | 13:56 |
| Pendulum | if you can dress corporate and still be taken seriously in a context where everyone around you is in jeans and a t-shirt, then in any circle you've got privlege | 13:57 |
| Pendulum | I do think there can be pressure to blend in with the guys, though, at geek events | 13:57 |
| Pendulum | which is why I tend to (consciously) go the other way (not to mention the fact that I don't actually know where my jeans are) | 13:58 |
| Pendulum | and those articles only minorly touch on the ablism of clothing expectations | 14:06 |
| Pendulum | *disablism | 14:06 |
| czajkowski | aye perhaps just places I've worked it really didnt matter if I wore a dress, jeans or suit. everyone wore what they liked tbh | 14:21 |
| czajkowski | but then again small company | 14:21 |
| czajkowski | approx 28 inhouse stafff | 14:22 |
| czajkowski | hse as long as it was smart it was ok | 14:22 |
| Pendulum | oh, I totally stood out where I worked because I dressed "too nice" | 14:22 |
| czajkowski | I did on ocassion when I'd gone weeks in hoodies and jeans to come in the next day in jeans heels and a going out top for post woerk drink | 14:24 |
| czajkowski | but then agai my place was a tad weird. | 14:24 |
