My office is kinda cold. I think we keep the A/C up a bit too high. Short sleeved shirts (still worn with ties) often leave me a bit cold even if they're reasonably appropriate outside. I'm not quite sure how the regs are on short sleeves, but for now I just limit them to days without important meetings and figure that my bosses would tell me if they were a problem. Not asking is my pathetically minor way of maintaining my fashion autonomy.

Also, for my lunch, I will once again be studying counter-insurgency methods. That is to say I will be eating soup with a knife. Over time I slowly lose utensils and I've been good about not hitting the food court for a bit so I haven't restocked. Apparently the trick to counter-insurgency is drinking directly from the bowl near the end.

I lack patience with soup. First, I try to eat it while it's still too hot, and end up burning my tongue. After a while, I get frustrated with using the spoon and I just drink most of it anyway. I think in your situation, I'd actually try drinking as much as I could and just ignoring the knife.

In Japan, don't they use chopsticks to pick the stuff out and then drink the broth?

I tend to put soup in a mug and just drink it if I'm lacking utensils. Or even if I *have* the utensils. I tend to inevitably spill on my shirt if I use a spoon.

GAH! Do not wear a short-sleeved shirt with a tie. Seriously. Roll up the sleeves, wear a thinner shirt, but short sleeves + tie looks dorky. Maintain your fashion autonomy by getting cool ties or shirts.

What kind of soup is it you are drinking with a knife? It sounds difficult.
