Depends on the office I think. My husbands work is quite casual as in smart casual shirts and trousers but no tie. Fridays are casual day at my husbands office.

Shirt and tie when meetings are on and dress trousers, rest of the time same attire minus the tie...

Depends on the industry and if you are customer-facing.

The Geek is in IT pre-sales and generally wears a suit; at the least it's business shirt and trousers, usually with a tie. No casual day.

The creatives that work around my neighbourhood are in jeans.

In fact, right now I've even got my cock out.

It's OK, I've put it back now. Just been watching Saddam Hussein's hanging on YouTube. Is there nothing on the web I won't masturbate over?

Depends on the city as well.

Thats what we do, smart suit/trousers and shirt with tie for customer facing meetings, otherwise same but no tie. Fridays is dress down day.
The UK is going that way too, less people are fixated about wearing a tie in work.

I'm assuming you're not in a customer-facing role renth. Although I was reading an article yesterday about the explosion in the male escort industry, so perhaps you are.

As for the keyboard, just give it the once over with a bit dettol.

I imagine that there are 'explosions' all the time in that industry?

Bad news if you are coming to a corporate role in Melbourne: it's dress-up time there, I'm afraid. For men that means suit, smart shirt, formal shoes, but not always a tie. This is OK during the cooler months but horrible on those hot summer days when you come out of the airconditioned office into the sweltering heat.

Good luck!

Same here. Except there are lots of guys in hi-vis, jeans and safety boots if they are going to / coming back from site. I have a tie in my draw just in case but not worn it in two years apart from an internal interview.

As long as you didn't 'chuck your muck' then there's no harm in interfering with yourself?
