One of the best things about working at Microsoft is that you can wear what you want to work - and when I say anything I mean *anything* including armor ^^;
Office attire (click to enlarge)
But more importantly, you can wear Haruhi T-shirts too...
The strange thing is that there's no difference in the amount of times people look at you whether one is wearing the Haruhi T-shirt or armor...

lol now that's what i call a powersuit. you could also probably attach a laser pointer on your blaster to help you out with presentations.

I've been in some contentious meetings where either having Haruhi in charge of the meetings or wearing body armor and a laser gun would've come in handy.

Heh, Microsoft eh? Man, I've lost count of the resumes I've submitted to MS for various positions. Oh well.

That is some funny stuff right there. A stormtrooper in an office office like that, that guy must be like, "wtf?" or atleast the people walking by.  Classic.

Orange Badge...

I want to mock you, but the badge compels me not to.

Lol, it looks comical the way a stormtrooper is in a natural working environment...but is your building air conditioned? because otherwise it could get very warm in that armour.

Adun,
Asked my boss if it was OK to wear armor to work and she said yes ^o^

Kirkland,
Will set up a call with you next week to catch up ^^

Arekusu,
The Windows Live team recently moved into one of those "intelligent" buildings where the air conditioning and blinds are automatically controlled - although it does not seem to work at times.

Kirby,
Not sure what you mean by "Orange badge" - are you talking about the bar code on the pass?

Coco,
I'm not a big fan of Overture but I'm sure you are making it a better company.

猫子猫さん、
んんん。日本語が難しすぎです(笑)

Makiさん、
今の会社は服装自由ではないですか?

Jason,
Many have an image of Microsoft being run by borgs - its not like that at all!
Its actually run by the empire...

KuTaO,
Took two watches and filled them down in the relevant places then joined them together myself ^^;
