To me, the difference between 'white collar' and 'blue (or pink) collar' was always the Manager vs Productive-worker divide. The Managers were over-paid, so they could afford to wear shirts that require washing after only one day's wearing. So long as I changed my under-shirt, I could go two days on a denim chambray shirt (three, when I had an office on the raised-floor in the computer room).

Now-a-days I wear jeans and a black t-shirt with a rock band on it, today it's a Jethro Tull 2000 Tour; just call me no-collar. I just sit at my desk, sorting code and causing tummy-aches for the middle management.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
