No Pants Policy

A few weeks ago at work, we kicked off a No Pants Policy to beat the heat and fined employees a quarter for wearing long pants.

Today The New York Times ran a story on it and this photo of me interviewing a job applicant who came wearing a shirt, tie and shorts -- in honor of the policy and to avoid the quarter drop.

Impressive.

But we didn't hire him. Is that cruel? Because the shorts were clever, but the socks negated the effort, don't you think?

Poor kid. I am sure he was sweating bullets before he went in thinking the job was in the bag...!

What does sweating bullets really mean? Sometimes I wish that phrases like 'sweating bullets' would actually become literalized (thank you, my new made up word for the day) ...wouldn't that be funny and a little weird? I would love to see someone actually perspire bullets.
