Aaand because I didn't read my email, I'm only today finding out that I gave the wrong date for the first meeting of the club thing and I feel like a dope. Lesson learned, I suppose.
Well...I hate to bring in the slippery slope argument, but you start being "Screw it, who cares if we wear make up/dress nice" and end up on the "Screw it, my bathing doesn't really affect my ability to do XYZ" side of things. I'm not sure if it's entirely rational, but it's the undercurrent, I think, based on my mother's input. And at this point, I'd take any chance I could to differentiate myself from other candidates and if that takes dressing up, well, I guess you do it. Not that it'll matter in 20 years when we're all going to working from home and in our pajamas, but for now...yeah.
