Damn that sounds like a lovely evening.

Moi aussi. Another big shout-out to the kind folks who gave me this big-ass coat and these crazy warm gloves. You know who you are. :)
A couple days ago I was leaving work wearing this coat, and one of the girls said, "Carhartt? Way to go, farmboy." And I was like, "Laugh if you want to, but one day I'm going to be warm and you're not." I think today is that day. (She was wearing Uggs at the time, and I thought about making a joke about Trixies, but thought better of it. Besides, they do look warm.)

You hear that, Ugg-wearing people of the world? You have my blessing!
(Similarly, I saw a young woman working at Intelligentsia on Jackson wearing black Crocs (sans holes) and they seemed like a logical and nice-looking choice for her situation. Am I getting soft???)

That's what I'm talking about!!
What are Carhartts? I thought it was a coat, based on context clues, but then I don't get what "I've got a full compliment of Carhartts today" means...?

You know that's not going to help him any.
xpost: They do make coats, but they also make jeans (a flannel-lined pair of which I am wearing today) and hats (somehow I have three of the and) as well as other "work" clothing. So: hat, coat, jeans = full compliment. I wish they made boots, they'd be unstoppable.

XP: They also make one-piece work/snowsuits! Good for snowmobiling, sitting in deer blinds, and lying on the frozen ground to fix cars.

fixed: (somehow I have three of these and wore one today)
xpost: My dad got one for Xmas the other year, he wears it to blow snow and chop wood and stuff. It's the baddest-ass snowsuit ever.

That site Jenny linked to looked like it has socks that would make boots almost superfluous.

Ha, but all I know of Dickies is that they make jeans and workshirts popular among skaters and rockabilly dudes. Do they make outerwear, too?

What about husbands/fiances/etc? EZ? Kev? (I'm kind of worried he might be frozen solid in his heaterless apartment)

He's not a construction/maintenance/building engineer. Student lab only. I would be less irritated by he's listening to headphones and so has the ringer turned WAY UP so he can hear it when it rings. Which is kind of mind boggling.
But it's all pointless because a whole fucking gaggle of undergrads working on some ding dong group project have descended are are sitting next to me blahblahblahing about some business school bullshit.
I just feel so old sometimes - like it's some sort of monumentally old-fashioned concept that people might like a quiet environment for studying and anyone under 25 has evolved beyond that needs thanks to early exposure to frenetic TV programming while doing homework.
Anyway, I'm considering the murderous blind rage option. I'll let you know.
