    Well I'm not afraid to wear something more than once. What I am afraid of is bringing too much stuff into someone's already small living space. I did read through the forum IP suggested but it seemed to be a lot of gadget talk. I'm intelligent enough to realize I don't need that crap to start with.

    Just want to be as professional as possible which was why I asked about Capri pants which are to the knee rather than shorts. I don't want to offend someone at the company hiring level by dressing inappropriately for the position. I also want to be dressed safely.

    As you can see from my pic I've been a dweller of a cube farm for the past 5 years. They didn't let me out of my cage too much.

    If it would be appropriate for the "cube farm" (aka hell) it'd work for orientation, and on the road. Many of us guys wear shorts this time of year.

    I don't think Capri pants will hurt your chances of getting hired. Everyone has their own idea of what dressing professionally is for me its blue jeans and a T-shirt for others a button up collared shirt and slacks . but never walk into a shipper in your pajamas and flip flops lol

    Come on, I like to walk into a shipper with my pajamas and flip flops, lol

    Dress in something you feel comfortable in and don't mind it getting dirty because it doesn't matter how hard you try, it's going to get the fifth wheel grease on it even if the shirt has been in you bag the whole time.

    oh yes the 5th wheel grease lol I like going to campus in the first time they take the students out for a pretrip on the trucks and almost everyone of them get into the 5th wheel grease I personally like to look for the student that doesn't mind that his or her hands are dirty

    You'lll be alright with what you mentioned. Two weeks worth should be more than sufficient. You will have chance to wash.

    Definately long on underware & socks, as you will want to change these frequently if you do repeat wear outer clothes. Trust me..... change daily!

    I wear lot of shorts & t-shirts while weather good, jeans when cooler.

    Mostly go 2/3 days between showers when running hard. Try to keep that the max, but situations have dictated longer on occassion.

    You got the right idea.....

    From a former "office rat" of 25yrs........Wish you the best!
