    It's easier to travel and it's nice not having to put up a front to show you can be taken serious because you have a reputation as being known as some one who does a job and does it well So even if you show up in flannels you'll be looked at the same as some one who shows up in an Armani custom tailored 3 piece. Because in the end the guys you're meeting with could give a two shits about your dress, but care more about what you're saying :P

    Of course you always have the "professional" who thinks business casual is loafers instead of lace ups. But he gets over it quickly.


    ETA: Don't get me wrong, a suit has places where it's simply appropriate, but for work - I think actions speak louder than words. And it has nothing to do with respect when it comes to the workplace, if you respect those you work with you excel and make your entire team look good no matter what leak chains you have.

    I understand too is an adverb and to is a preposition, I still prefer using to in place of too.

    The way I see it I'll save maybe 5-10 minutes over my lifetime not typing that extra o at the end of to. Even typing up this explanation saves me more time than typing that extra o

    Maxpedition Fatboy S-Type.

    I don't like it or the look, but it holds my stuff and was only 45 bucks.

    I wasn't asking for justification, I was stating an opinion.

    I've just been carrying a diaper bag as of late.

    I mean, um, a tactical diaper bag.

    when out with the kids or returning stuff etc.. I carry a maxpedition bag ?
    or my super old timbuk (first year they were in biz model which I like better than their new stuff)


    the other day a guy in a furniture store (worker) said nice Bail Out Bag in a serious fashion ? (maxpedition bag small one)
    I said thanks it just holds a few wet wipes kids water and snacks
    dont want to advertise what it may or many not have ?

    made me think its to tactical ? or was he a tack guy also I would rather people think I am carrying a diaper bag than a tac bag then again in my mind thats one tiny BOB I would be carrying and why would I be carrying a BOB in a store
    so also made me thinks he wanted to strike up conversation or something ?

    just struck me as strange a bit ?
