SHORT PANTS FRIDAY

AKA Wear Short Pants to Work… Friday.

A Short Story By Richard.Qm.Lewis

The Thought - Why as a creative person working in the top advertising agency in the Caribbean, I have to be wearing jeans and office attire on Friday? Why I can’t wear short pants on Friday? Who else feels this way? Why is this not a real thing?

It is a way to transition into the weekend with a relaxed, comfortable, or stylish look, often associated with "Casual Friday" in offices.

I’m not a cat.

The Invitation

An invitation was sent to all departments.

It was received with the doubt and disbelief that something so silly would happen. It wasn’t an official announcement of anything from management. Why should we care? Why would they care? Why would I care?
