GEEK DRESS CODE [d-(++)@>+]

My tendencies on this issue range from: "I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.", to: "I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie." But that varies... But someday I'd like to say: "Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts."

I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks." Getting paid for it! But someday I'd like to say: "Computers are a large part of my existence.
