Lee now makes jeans cut to actually fit against the back of one's waist without a huge gap. I was very surprised when all four pairs from three different brands I brought into the JC Penney fitting room were wearable, including a clearance model that rang up at $3.98. That NEVER HAPPENS.
We only get 12 vacation days per year. It increases to 15 days after 10 years of service, then 20 days after 15 years of service. Is this good, normal, or poor? It doesn't seem like enough, especially to both take a see-new-places trip and do a family visit in the same year. We do get 12 holidays as days off with pay, mostly clumped at the end of the year for Christmas shutdown. Also, sick days aren't levied against us, so that is fair. Comp-time is an option, but that doesn't really count in my mind as time off (we can get paid for any overtime instead). So, a quick poll: is your vacation policy better or worse than mine is? Do you feel like you get enough time off? Do you even get to use your vacation time?
Victoria's Secret tailor many of their pants in that way. I was browsing their clothing one day and kept coming across the phrase "panty-peek technology" or something to that effect. (A cursory search didn't turn it up on a current page, so you'll just have to take my word for it.) It had me scratching my head for a while until I finally found an explanation. The waists were tailored to avoid the waistline slipping down to an unseemly level.
ReplyDeleteTo this day, I can't think of that sort of thing withou the phrase "panty-peek" coming to mind. XD
