My post acquisition 3 month transitional contract is over and I have defied the oppressive dress code of the overlords right down to the bitter end. On my last day, it was a tutu and 70 pieces of Popeyes chicken (and 24 biscuits). I can't think of any better way to go out after 13 years of service.
Oddly enough besides the initial side eyes, mostly just from coworkers forgetting it was my last day, most were not very shocked. In fact the day was more relaxed and light-hearted all around (there was also a bottle of Ukrainian cognac). The wearing of tutus should be considered for conflict resolution in the workplace. Send a crap missile email cc'ing the world and bombing out half my staff? Let me come speak to you in person about the matter at hand in my tutu. I'm so certain that we can resolve these sort of shenanigans that most likely originate from poor wardrobe choices which inevitably lead to low self esteem and confrontational behavior.
My tutu skirt was custom ordered from Tutus for Women. It was initially intended for my upcoming birthday in December, but I decided that at this point in life, my tutu opportunities are dwindling, so why not wear for the final day of work. I will tell you that I spent a great part of the day running up and down the hallways with the dramatic tulle waving behind me as if I was late for a ball...I was really late for a bottle of Malbec, a bag of turkey jerky and some leftover Popeye's biscuits.

Now on to what I will wear in unemployment. I could change multiple times of day, right? The options are incredibly exciting!
