My husband thinks our son needs a haircut.  I dunno.  I just don’t see it…

I spent 8 hours on a stripe the other day.  This is what I do for a living; I draw stripes.  Sometimes I even get to draw a little teddy bear head or heart or flower to go on the stripe.  Only in the apparel world, this is not called drawing, this is called ‘development’.

So there I am, developing a stripe. And I show my bosses.  (Notice the plural.)

My co-workers are used to the boss-speak,  And often have their own translation.

Sometimes we like to play little tricks on the bosses, in an ongoing effort to salvage a bit of our dignity.  By the end of the day, I was ready to seal the deal on the little stripe project.  So I busted out an oldie but goodie.  It’s called ‘Show-Them-The-Same-Thing-But-Tell-Them-You Made-’Subtle Updates’.’  This is most effective when paired with a small snippet of their own language.

In the end, I get paid by the hour.  So everyone wins.
