Wear appropriate clothing to work, even if it's business casual.
Don't wear strong cologne or perfume.

I've been to, roughly, a gazillion concerts.
I've crowd surfed. I've sang along until I was hoarse. I've paid $9 for Bud Light (Bud "Flavored Water" Light!).

...And the Yankees win!
You know what this means?
Six months without baseball! Woohoo! (Until, of course, the highlight reel of the season is delivered to my door, as my boyfriend likes to remind me.)
All joking aside, it's pretty awesome that the Yankees won--27 World Series! What an amazing feat. Can you ...
