Suit and Tie
If nothing else, I get to forego the corporate uniform for a while. Actually, it was kind of interesting to observe the cultural shift moving from the Soho-based publisher in NYC to the global behemoth in the Sydney suburbs, in that a suit was mandatory. Turns out that was the influence of the South African military-trained project director more than anything else, and when he was gone, the ties mostly went, too. Nevertheless, now that I'm spending time in Martin Place, kind of the heart of the CBD, I see that the standard is very broad indeed, if not quite so liberal as extended to Soho. Next up: a beer on the balcony.
