B: and I went over to, uh, uh, to one of the buildings that has a lot more of the financial people in it
A: Uh-huh.
B: and it, and I, I was almost converted because, uh, the effect of that suit on the way people reacted and responded to me as opposed to the,
B: uh, just to kind of,
B: how shall I say it,
B: they know you're there
B: but they don't
B: uh, you don't,
B: there's no notice at all.
B: But when I wore a suit that day, uh, it was obvious that people didn't know whether I was a worker bee or a manager.
A: Wow.
B: So people, uh, how shall I say it, made a, made much more effort to notice you, acknowledge your presence, say hello and, uh, things like that,
B: so.
A: That's interesting.
A: It's like a mini, little study there
B: Yeah.
A: That's really interesting.
B: And so this dress for success thing, I think is, uh,
B: by and large I've, I'm kind of, uh, convinced that, uh, by that, just that one, uh, uh, experience and then having talked to several other people that, that, uh, unless you're in a, an environment where they're going to make fun of, of, of better clothes, that better clothes always pay off.
A: Right.
A: Huh.
A: That's interesting.
B: Doesn't mean they have to be, uh,
B: how shall I say it,
B: they don't have to be the, the most, uh, the absolute best
A: Uh-huh.
B: but, uh, a little dressing a little bit above the standard, I think, would, uh, pay off
B: so I'm in the process of telling my wife we got to go shopping for clothes again.
A: <Laughter> That's neat,
A: that's neat
B: And, uh, I, I don't know,
B: now I, I know eastern,
B: now the other thing we do here, of course, is a single, not quite a single climate.
B: We have, uh, we do have some snow in the wintertime
B: and it can be quite warm in the summertime.
A: Uh-huh.
B: Not hot like, uh,
B: I lived in the midwest for a while.
A: Oh.
B: And I know that, uh, you know, it can be freezing cold in the wintertime, and hot and, uh, sticky in the summertime.
A: Uh-huh.
B: We don't have that much.
B: It's, uh, it's a very mild climate.
A: Oh, well that's nice.
A: That's good for the clothes budget, I would imagine.
B: Yes,
B: it is.
A: Because here, gosh, we had, uh,
A: the winter hasn't been bad this winter.
A: It's, it it's only snowed maybe once or twice
A: but it's been cold.
A: Low twenties, let's say,
A: and then the summer gets up to eighties, nineties
A: so,
A: You interested in woodworking?
B: Yeah.
B: Actually, I, uh, I guess I am
B: Um, it just seems kind of funny that this is a topic of discussion.
B: Uh, I do, uh, some, uh, woodworking myself
B: Uh, in fact, I'm in the middle of a project right now making a bed for my son.
A: Um.
What kind of
B: It's, uh, It's, uh, it's, uh, plywood, uh, face, I guess.
A: pine?
B: But I cut it out in the shape of a crayon box
B: and then I painted, uh, about eight different, uh, colors, uh, you know,
B: the crayons that are sticking up, it will be the headboard
A: Uh-huh.
A: I guess he's young.
B: and then,
B: yes
B: He's about five and a half years old.
A: Oh, he'll be delighted.
B: Oh, yeah.
B: Uh-huh.
B: Now I just have to finish it though.
B: I got, uh, it got delayed for a little bit and, uh, because of work
B: and now, uh, I've got to jump back in and finish the,
B: because I've got it all cut out,
B: it's all, uh,
B: I've done most of the coloring
B: but I've got to go a second layer with the yellow.
A: Did you do it with a jigsaw
A: or do you have powered, you know, a,
B: Uh, yeah.
B: Uh, I did, uh, jigsaw, uh, and the, uh, regular straight saw for some of it.
A: Um.
B: So yeah.
B: to do the, uh, the turn cut.
B: Uh, how about yourself?
A: Well I'm, I am interested in woodworking.
A: I don't have lots of tools.
A: Our local schools have adult education in the evening
B: Oh.
A: uh, and I use their tools and, some of their guidance.
A: I'm an artist.
B: Oh, okay.
A: And I'm very handy
A: and, you know, if I touch it, it turns into something <laughter> us-, usually.
B: That's great.
