What drove me to wear a sweat suit to work for the entire winter of 2008?
I guess this is probably a total rip off from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall' but since they weren't Costco Brand, and I was wearing Under Armour and other high end sweats, I figured ehh, why not?
Key Contributing Factors:
* I had two kids driving me up the wall and I pretty much gave up
* I was carrying boxes of t-shirts, uniforms, and sweats all day. I am pretty sure nobody important noticed.
* A normal eating day consisted of 2 trips to 7-11 (then I threw the trash on the floor under my desk) then maybe ordering a pizza for delivery or stopping at 7-11 for a 3rd time

* I was pretty much not sleeping, showering, or paying any attention to my own personal appearance at the time. It was like 2 weeks before finals during college, only it lasted the entire winter, and I'm an adult.
* My boss's prerogative at the time was to wear one Bill Cosby sweater after another, potentially driving me insane with rage.
* I was wearing lacrosse shorts as underwear so the next logical step in layering was a pair of sweats once the winter weather set in.
Overall, looking back on my apparel choice of the time, it was a glorious period for me - but no one else. To me, working in sweats is greater than or equal to working in the nude. Sweats are very warm and stretchy. I am 100% positive that most attractive females were utterly repulsed, but the ones that were like ehh 'he is comfortable' and didn't gag upon seeing me were probably easy targets for corruption. When I retire, I'll dress like this every single day, but at my age, it's unacceptable. My grandmother was known to love a good matching sweatsuit. Maybe it is a genetic thing.
I mean, I was wearing a matching Under Armour set most of the time. I mean it was not like I was wearing a FUBU or Phatfarm deal, but that doesn't really make it any better: I just have less street cred and spent more money.
BO was a constant issue around the office, I'll just say that I may or may not have used hand soap to combat the smell.
Sweat Suit Bandit, sweats for f*ckin' ever brah, 93% chance I'm wearing them right now

Maybe you should write a separate post about going to 7-11 two to three times a day.. that is some ripe low hanging fruit right there.
