It’s nearly 80°F outside right now. Here in the office, it’s a stuffy 74°F up by the front desk and a sweltering 77°F in the back with all the servers and printers.
And me.
I’m not at the hospital office tomorrow, so I’m semi-seriously contemplating breaking out the utili-kilt, just for the sake of comfort. On the other hand, the weather widget seems to be indicating that today is the peak for the week, so the kilt might be too little, too late. Or too late, too little. It’s a nice comfy kilt – not a mini-skirt by any stretch of the imagination – but there are people who freak out at the sight of a guy not wearing pants…
Which reminds me: I’m working up a semi-official Smithee costume for myself – something offbeat, snazzy and refined. The kilt is part of it, and I’m planning on getting a set of contact lenses next time I get glasses. With those, I can wear the Mad Science Approved Lab Specs without being defocussed and blind.
(Yes, that does mean I’d be wearing welding goggles and a kilt.)
The rest of the outfit is still up in the air. Shirtwise, I’m thinking a double-breasted chef jacket. For footwear, I’m thinking motorcycle boots, or hefty Doc Martins. It’s all in the planning stages right now. We’ll see what gets pulled together by the Ann Arbor and Columbus shows.
