Wearing the T-Shirt

If you want insight into how I’m feeling about a company that I work for, you need not look further than my chest. If I‘m still excited about my job and the company, I’ll wear the t-shirt (eventually, at least. I have a lot of t-shirts--Ed). I‘ve made this a known benchmark with people I work with, and I often say things like ”I’m still wearing the t-shirt.“

Contrast that to when I‘m not excited–I once removed the embroidered company logo from a pair of joggers that I liked. Have you ever tried to remove embroidery by hand? Yeah, I was that annoyed, but the pants are still amazing.
