Reindeer helmet

Ok, so the person I described in my previous blog...you know, the one with the rainbow pouch?...well, today she came in wearing a type of "reindeer headband." I don't know how else to describe it. Helmet is a good description too - not totally accurate. But the word 'helmet' does such a good job of illustrating how unattractive and ridiculous it looks. I can't resist using it. Also, it has bells hanging off the atlers.

I know it's holiday season, but again, I ask...shouldn't she be stoned by us, her coworkers, and then banned from ever showing her face in this office again?? Shouldn't she have to undergo some type of counseling with the head of HR (which btw, is a whole other story which i'll have to get to in another post).

Personally, I'm not only embarrased for my company and the rest of my coworkers. I'm angry. Very angry. Angry and offended. I don't need to see any more reindeer this season than absolutely necessary. Especially at my place of work! I'm Jewish, for christ's sake.

My rainbow pouch

Why don't the laws of Darwin apply to my workplace?

If someone comes to work dressed in muck lucks, a beaded rainbow pouch, and pink argyle socks worn with navy maryjanes, shouldn't the rest of the workplace community - for the very sake of our survival - be obliged to mock and shame this person until they are forced to leave and reexamine their fashion choices? And isn't my survival threatened when certain coworkers insist on taking up company time by walking around the office trying to find a home for a neighbor's cat?
