don't wear a collar, but I wear a coat of many colors. God, those are some nice hooters.

striped color?

I work in an air conditioned office... 90% of my day is hanging out, surfing the internet, and rebooting the occasional server. but some days I'm lugging around 80 pound servers on my shoulder and there's always the odd cluster**** day where an hvac will fail or something.

I manage a production line. What color collar is that? I'm supposed to wear a dress shirt to work and I do most of the time but I'm also supposed to wear slacks monday through thursday and I never wear anything other than jeans.

Well, my current primary gig is electronics recycling. My time is about evenly split between very blue-collar floor work, and very white-collar documentation, administration, and IT work (I'll usually work on a document or server or something for a few hours, until I get frustrated, and then go onto the floor and SMASH THE LIVING SH!T out of a few PCs)

as white collar as you can get

.........i review reports from people who work for me. they write reports on what their teams have done or will be doing.

i write reports on the reports that I reviewed and then my boss reviews my report, and so on thru the company ladder.

and it doesn't end there.....we all gather around a large mahogany table and talk about the reports that we reviewed. (corporate america, we're really good at report writing and reading)

white collar.

today i actually wore a white dress shirt with a black tie and my suit trousers (it was too hot for the suit jacket).

i'm a developer for a trading application at a big investment bank in nyc.
