also given that I have pentacle leggings and plans/supplies for pentacle tank tops so I can be full gym witch, what are the downsides to also being full corporate goth in the rest of my time?
@Maenad Potential downside: Some people would stay away from you in work-social situations. OTOH that might be a useful self-selection filter. Those people are probably not that fun anyway.
@Maenad I was thinking "lunch" not "happy hour", but your point about status is also well taken.
@benhamill in general I end up doing a lot of admin/workshop organization so I've never had trouble socializing with local colleagues. Farther away colleagues are rougher (because everyone prefers hanging out with people they know better) but I do okay due to who my boss is and the fact that I've been around long enough.
@benhamill people at work social functions can go fuck themselves. but also, hypothetically if my status is high enough they'll want to talk to me anyway and I'm focusing that super hard right now.
