Business Casual

The first shirt from Business Casual is now open for pre-orders!

I'm proud to introduce my first ever T-Shirt design, Overworked & Underpaid. If you'd like to get in the pre-order for the shirt, please head over the Business Casual store and place an order. The likely ship date for these would be somewhere around May 1.

I kinda wonder where and when did the term SWAG originate. At some random conference in the past, was an attendee overhead saying, "Yeah, this is the stuff we all get"? And then, the phrase exploded in popularity, earning itself an acronym. These are the kinds of things I want my dictionary to tell me.

Also, in the economic downturn that the world finds itself fighting through these days, are companies cutting line items in their budget that was earmarked SWAG? Does Bob from Accounting bring up the fact that the company could save $1,500 this year if they don't buy miniature frisbees with their company logo on them? And you know there's at least one person in the meeting who fights to keep SWAG and hold off on other expenses like raises and hardware upgrades.
