PIGEON-RAT said:wtf. i couldn't ever imagine someone going barefoot in the office. what kind of job is this?

velvett said:Well, I share the floor of a building with a builder and my office is at the very end of one side, it's about 18 x 22 and I have two desks (one to work on and one to pile samples on) and a drafting table. It's carpeted and it's just me in there with no pass through traffic.
My builder office mate always sneaks into my space to use my color copier and he'll see my bare feet at times and he say "you're worse than my kids."
When I have to trek through his side of the building (to use the loo) I eithe r slip my flip flops on or my shoes.
It's just comfortable to work this way and I like the feel of the carpet and the steel of the drafting table under my toes.

PIGEON-RAT said:Well I can understand it in your own office. I thought you were strolling around some big office barefoot, past other peoples desks and stuff.
velvett said:My office mate (we'll call him builder guy) is currently teasing me that I walk around the office barefoot.
Does anyone else do this or am I a freak after all? (don't answer that last part)

FreeballinDC said:Nothing wrong with going barefoot around the office. I do that sometimes myself. Last month, I was at a big committee meeting and took off my shoes, and ran around the conference table conducting business in my socks.
Comfort baby, comfort.
MrMuscle said:you dont worry about fungus and other nasty stuff?
JerseyArt said:It's weird, because I have no problem being barefoot outside, but I won't go barefoot in a hotel if I can avoid it. Something just nasty about hotel rooms. Must have watched too many "you won't believe this" reports
velvett said:Yah that is nasty.
I remember traveling with my parents growing up and my father used to shower in flips flops or worse buy a small bottle of bleach and soak the tub floor before we were allowed to use it.
it's no wonder I'm insane

I think that`s cool if you go barefoot and can be comfortable in your work environment. I used to work construction and wore workboots all day at work.

JerseyArt said:Velvett,
Those lips are Jolie's right? Cause if they are yours let me retract every unkind word I have ever said to you
velvett said:LOL
Yes those are hers from the TAKING LIVES movie poster.
My lips are in my profile, however, somewhat smaller.
Insano has a good shot of my mouth, somewhere.
TheProject said:I was just talking about this with some coworkers on the way back from lunch. We're required to wear business attire (dress every day like you were going to a job interview!) and I saw one of the receptionists wearing flip-flops.
I don't care if people want to wear flip-flops, but it looks tacky as hell at the office, and apparently several people have complained about the attire of the receptionists.
JerseyArt said:You look like you have lips to matche hers from the pic of you
Robert Jan said:I like walking around barefoot. but my feet are scary. people call me hobbit. even my gf.
velvett said:I think there is a difference between working in what is essentially a studio and working in the public eye (or with clients). Beach attire and/or nudity is not appropriate in the workplace (unless you're a stripper/dancer, etc).
