Only in Atlanta

I was in the elevator on the way to work the other day. A business man walked in right behind me. We sat in silence for a moment and then he asked, "What's on the 11th floor?" I said, "It's an interactive Agency, I am a designer". The man pauses for a moment, keenly giving me a once over and then says, "Oh, that sounds like fun. They really let you dress like that?"

Keep in mind, I am somewhat into fashion and occasionally dressing nice. This guy really had no idea what I was talking about.

It's something I have never understood. People assume that just because I work in an office I am supposed to wear dress slacks to work and a tie. I don't even know how to put a tie on correctly. Call is sad, but I am very happy to go to work and be the person I am.

The man got off at his floor and I went on about my day.
