I suppose it's half the point, but 99% of my office would be so confused...

And there are only maybe 20 people, so there's that to be considered as well.

I'm off work today and flying... I don't think TSA would accept that as an excuse.

All I have is a welding helmet. Does that count?

Unless you also ride a motorcycle to work you will be doing a good impersonation of an idiot. It's also "Wear your Pikachu Butt Plug Tail to Work Day" so... have at it.

I'm really bummed. I forgot that today was Wear Your Helmet to Work Day and by mere coincidence today is the only day this week that I don't just happen to have a helmet with me. I had the race trailer with my gear in it at the office on Monday and rode my motorcycle every other day.

I almost didn't have a work day today. I remembered, but the people at this office think I'm enough of a weirdo already, sorry It'd be pretty generic-looking IT stuff anyway.

You'll need to log in to post.
