Weirdos in the depression

This is so true. There's been a lot of times when I cleaned up my look and wore really nice clothes to work, just because I felt like looking good -- and the number of "going for a job interview?" jokes I got all the time was countless. It's like a requirement to dress down.

Then again it might be more due to the change compared to the baseline.

> "going for a job interview?"

I always reply with "every day is a job interview, baby" and do cheesy finger guns. That shuts them up.

Ugh, that joke was thrown around so many times at our office, whenever anyone dared show up to work in a button-down shirt and slacks. Or some variant like "Good luck on your job interview today!" or "Looks like you need to take an extra long lunch today. Let me know how it went."

Also bandied about here in the UK as an accompaniment to that is: "Going to court?"

I got a more conservative haircut once and the CEO asked if I was job hunting.
