Title: Happy Canada Day!

:cheers:

Of the three Canucks in our office today only one is wearing red and a Canada t-shirt.

SHAMEFUL DISPLAY! :mad:

I can't imagine wearing t-shirts to work.

We can only do that on casual Fridays.

My old job, jeans and t-shirt was fine, since our finance department had almost no outside contact.

To the Franco-Canucks: Happy Moving Day!

(As my Quebecoise colleague just reminded me when I called her out on not being dressed on her national holiday.)

well, I'm guessing your summers are longer than mine, so no video game if it's not raining and the temp is above 15C :D

It is basically raining every weekend here. For the second consecutive weekend I had to cancel plans outside. I had a whole weekend alone with my two year old planned about a month ago that ended up being 'lets stay inside and watch Cars 20 times' after a truly amazing storm hung around the whole time.

But even if we do go out it is not like I cannot wake up at 3 am and play until dawn as I usually do on Saturday :P

The idea of wearing a t-shirt to celebrate a national day is totally alien to me.

How would you suggest national days be celebrated?

Make them public holidays.  That's good enough for me.

But wearing a piece of clothing of some sort crosses the line?

I didn't say that, just that the idea has not crossed my mind  :lol:  In fact I don't have any clothing that carries any message or logos (other than the manufacturers' logos).

If I were on my pc, I'd look for some t-shirts with mono-appropriate slogans.

I prefer "yes", with the y being a yen sign, the e being a euro sign, and the s being a dollar sign please.
