We must be more casual up here. We pay some not-so-cheap outside counsel for some things and they usually don't dress so formally.
We actually went business casual 24/7/365 way back in the fall of 1996. it used to be every Friday and every day between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Juts before Labor Day of '96 they announced the change in policy.
If I am going to meet with someone "important" (e.g., a state official) I will wear a jacket and tie. I only own one suit, and I am certain it no longer fits.

I've never tried the 3-wheel speedskates, but would like to. And the first thing I thought while lacing up these boots is "These things need BOA dammit!"
So obviously I need some $1200 skates

Patients must think my practice is Burger King. They keep wanting to have it their way.
Example 1: "I went to urgent care yesterday because I hit my head, and they say I need a CAT scan to be sure I don't have a brain bleed. They said I should order the scan, and order it STAT"
Example 2: "My back is killing me and my chiropractor said I should get you to write me an order for a medrol pack"
Example 3: "I have COVID and you have to order paxlovid for me"
Example 4: "I have a UTI and am too busy to drop off a specimen. Send in some antibiotics"
Mind you all 4 patients are refusing to do a telemedicine visit or office visit. The want me and my staff to do all this work for free.
It's not Burger King. You can't always have it your way.

I have never played a round of golf in my life. I don't practice any part of golf in any way. Never have, never will. With that in mind...
Years ago, I was working at a really small startup (I was #3 employee and the first guy working in the facility). The President set up an afternoon of golf for anyone interested, and the Friday afternoon before that, brought in a couple putters and balls. So, for our Friday afternoon hangout/party, we were taking turns putting into a Solo cup, in the office (because it had carpet). I COULD NOT MISS. I was literally sinking every shot. The President would set up oh-so-carefully, and COULD NOT SINK A PUT. After a while, this started to get to him. So he moved the cup farther away and said, Just the two of us. He went first, and missed. Then I sunk mine. He grabbed the putter out of my hand. It was such a childish move, but so totally in character for him - he liked to pretend he was everyone's pal, but that dude had real problems with anyone showing him up in any way.

I am reminded of the scene in "Animal House" where Otter is helping Boone work on hitting off the tee.
