Number one reason to change as soon as you get home here is if you've been outside for more than three minutes, the sweat is ridiculous. living in a extremely hot tropical country , I can totally relate to this !!

everywhere and nowhere Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ouch... I live in temperate climate and any heatwave is extremely hard to take for me. My allergy gets worse when I sweat a lot and overheat a lot. Already 20 degrees Celsius in intense sunshine or 25 without sunshine is a bit too much for me and 30+ temperatures are horrible. It's not a good idea to fall asleep with working electric equipment in the apartment, especially when living alone, but during heatwaves I put a fan next to my bed and usually fall asleep next to it. (On the other hand, I have rather good cold tolerance. As long as I'm dressed adequately, I don't mind temperatures around -10, -15...) During heatwaves I also tend to eat more unhealthy food such as instant soups - simply because they are ultra-quick to prepare and I can't spend 5 minutes away from a fan... And anyway I'm addicted to cooling my skin from time to time all year long. I have 3 electric fans at home (but none in the kitchen, that's the problem) and I always carry a hand fan in my bag. Overheating is one of the worst things for my allergy. Link to post Share on other sites
Baam Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I don't ever change clothes when I get home unless it's been a particularly hot humid day. 2 hours ago, Nowhere Girl said: Ouch...

Hayley Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Always, but I change into the sort of clothes I sleep in. Even if I'm going out again later I still change into leggings and a loose top until I'm due to go out. I work in a "smart casual" office, but my clothes at work are basically what I wear at the weekend anyway. I just don't like to wear those at home. Link to post Share on other sites

NerotheReaper Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yeah, there is nothing like coming home after a long day and changing into pjs. It is just relaxing to get into pjs to say "the day is over" well at least going out in public Link to post Share on other sites

I work in the Acute Care unit at the hospital and I spend 10 hours a day around VERY ill people. I have been coughed on, spat on, thrown up on, peed on, have had to change diapers and covers that have had vomit and other bodily fluids on. I see about 15 patients and on any given day in the ICU you can be sure 3-5 of them are in "isolation" or "droplet precaution" meaning they have some REALLY nasty and contagious germs and we have to put on this yellow outfit and a N95 respirator with a face shield. There are times where I am trying to help the RN and CNA with a patient transfer and the patient will urinate on the floor and I am standing or kneeling over the puddle. Oh and MRSA...enough said Our hospital is very particular about sanitation and 'foam in/foam out' of EVERY room we see. However at the end of the day I leave my shoes out in the hallway and immediately remove my scrubs and spray Lysol on them - put them in a sealed container and wash ever 3 days - since I have 4 scrub sets. I don't know how much you earn but you should get double what you get now, unlike those 'tv stars' who get loads for just reading out stuff in front of a camera. There, I said it!

There, I said it! I completely agree. This is truly responsible work. Similar with teachers - one of the most responsible professions possible, and yet really poorly paid in many countries. Somewhere - in Switzerland, I think? - a law was introduced which sets the maximum for a CEO's pay at 12 times the lowest pay at their company. (I may have remembered some details wrong, but you get the general idea.) I support that kind of thinking. Just pay doesn't mean that everybody should get the same, but it also doesn't mean that top managers or celebrities really deserve the money they get. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I change clothes when I come home from work, because I wear a uniform for work and I prefer to not mess it up. Otherwise, I change out of "nice" clothes (white, dresses, things I don't want dogs on). But, casual outdoor clothes like jeans and tank tops? Nope. Link to post Share on other sites

Zsareph Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I used to change out of my school uniform when I got home and I currently do the same with my work uniform or if I've had to dress up nicely for something, but for everyday clothes? No. Not unless they've become dirty or soaked from rain while I was out. Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Heart Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 For me it all depends on my level of comfort in what I'm wearing. At my last job, I had to wear a uniform, so when I came home, I changed to avoid messing it up and to distance myself from the stress of the day. It is the same for days that I just decide to dress nicely. On normal days when I'm just in jeans and a tee, it's a hit or miss. Some days I change completely. Some days I change into a pair of joggers but keep on my t-shirt. Some days I don't change until I decide I'm going to sleep. No real rhyme or reason. Link to post Share on other sites
