And it is, even for me; my weekday average is probably five or six times. Other than not showering \/ sleeping in my cycling gear \/ changing straight into my cycling gear in the morning (not ideal because I usually have MacTavish and\/or at least one kitty on my lap during breakfast, and the lycra is too slippery), I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any way to improve the situation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But hey, it&#8217;s not <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic\">too <\/span>annoying, really. Except for when I&#8217;m a bit dopey in the morning and don&#8217;t quite assemble my work outfit properly before stuffing it in my bag. Recent infractions include:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Forgetting to take my fleece jacket back to work after washing it (it usually lives on my office chair), and then having the option of wearing either no jacket or a (not very warm) fluorescent orange cycling jacket with attractive reflective strips to the coffee house on a sub-zero winter&#8217;s day.<\/li>\n<li>Only having a black bra to go under a somewhat see-through white shirt.<\/li>\n<li>Black pants, brown boots (or\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: italic\">vice versa)<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li>Brown boots, no socks.<\/li>\n<li>Cords and boots combo that made me go &#8220;swoosh-click&#8221; with every step, making people turn round and stare. Honestly, I have a hard enough time matching my clothes visually, if I have to start matching them acoustically as well, I&#8217;m screwed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Proper grown-ups with normal lives, who get dressed for work at home and then commute by car or transit, don&#8217;t have these problems. But when my commute will soon transition from views of snowy mountains to warmer rides through tunnels of cherry blossom, I think I can put up with a few infractions and a visit or two from the fashion police.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: small\">*Yay!
