The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) headquarters are located right near my Metro stop. Lately, I’ve been questioning how certain people got jobs there. Yes, the spring weather has been finicky lately, but how come on a really hot and humid day last week I saw an NOAA employee in full winter gear—coat, knit hat, gloves…? I was practically sweating in my jeans and a t-shirt. Then a couple days ago, on a just-above freezing morning, I saw an NOAA employee in a short skirt and flip-flops, hurrying to get inside the warmth of the building. Do these people not know that the NOAA runs the National Weather Service? Couldn’t they have at least turned on Al Roker for a second in the morning before dressing? As employees, shouldn’t it be part of their job descriptions to dress according to the weather?
