We occasionally receive word that an upcoming Friday will be a day for wearing jeans to work. This is really exciting to a lot of people. Friday will come and about one half of the people in my building will be sauntering through the halls clothed in their finest denim with huge smiles on there faces. Jeans are really comfortable, and it's only on these few Fridays that we are allowed to be that comfortable (although this Christmas, we were actually allowed to wear jeans for almost two weeks!).

I don't wear jeans to work, though. I think I have some kind of superiority complex about it. It's not a professional-looking thing to wear jeans to work, and I want to look professional - especially when others do not. It's been my observation that many who can't wait to wear their jeans are the ones who drag their feet and aren't normally too productive (and often on the heavy side).

Of course, I'll wear khakis and polos and whatever else meets the bare-minimum dress standards on any other day. It's not denim, but it's not as professional as I could go for. I'm being inconsistent. I think I'm going to have to dress up a little more.

If I start putting on ties at work, I guess I'm going to have to raise my standards for church-attire as well. Being consistent in my beliefs and my actions usually involves a lot more than I expect.
