Scrubs?

Remember the whole incident with the concert? When I talked about the contact lens that fell apart...and I had to drive with a pirate eye patch on one eye? Well, that same day I went to the mall to get a pair of eye glasses. My eye was too iritated to put on contacts. Actually, I haven't worn contacts since. I don't have a pair anyway, but I wouldn't wear them anyway. My eye is still healing.

So at the eye center I went to, I noticed something strange. All the women were wearing scrubs. You know, NURSING scrubs. Now this is a common practice in hospitals, dentists offices and other health facilities, but this is no doctor's office. Then I remembered that the year before, I had noticed that some of the women that worked there were young. No big deal, except they were dressed inappropriately. Now, how are you going to work with the public in a professional atmosphere with a thong that's visible every time you bend down or a plunging neckline? I guess I wasn't the only one that thought, "WHAT THE?!?!" It may seem strange, but I guess it works. I'm sure it saves the employees from having to spend money on "work" clothes and eliminates management issues with "proper attire". The scrubs were nice, but it was just weird. Scrubs always remind me of the weeks I spent living in the hospital with the kids with their bouts of pneumonia, meningitis and asthma. Horrible memories, but we survived.

You know, requiring certain professions to wear Scrubs may not be such a bad thing. At least we wouldn't have to be exposed to some ridiculous fashion CATASTROPHES!
