The Perfect Number of Socks
gtdjedi | Feb 16 2007
Now that my desk is tamed (mostly) I've turned to taming my socks. Somehow my socks drawer has swollen to nearly 60 pair. After cutting them in half I'm now trying to pick the perfect number. Though a trivial question it really is a microcosm for stripping out the crap....any thoughts? 7 Comments

Tough call. It kind of depends on what kind of things you do & how you need to dress for work. If you're an athlete, you need socks for that. If you wear a suit to work, you'll need a full range of work socks. If your work attire is jeans & a T-shirt, your work socks can be your fun socks too. Even if you need separate work and non-work footwear, I think you'll be able to reduce your aresenal quite a bit from 60 pairs, unless you really hate doing laundry. » POSTED IN:
