I had the closest thing I've ever had to a shopping spree this afternoon. The Rotary is giving us $500 to buy "uniforms" for the trip to Japan I'm going on next spring with a team of regional professionals. It was my job to pick out basic items, like a suit, kaki pants and a variety of shirts that we will all wear while we are there.
I had to drive to Modesto today to try on and pick up some of the big ticket items. It was crazy to just run my card for hundreds of dollars of clothing — knowing I don't have to pay for any of it. Thanks to the Sunrise Rotary for that.
The best part is that we get to keep all of this stuff. I'm sure I will be able to find a use for it, even though my newsroom is pretty casual.
Lesson learned: It's not cheap to dress up.
