Stardom and changing dress sense

I now work for the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, which is an address not an organisation. I actually work for the government in one of the ill-reputed quangos.

Part of my job is taking and inflatable observatory to Primary Schools to tell them all about the stars. Fun? Yes. Weird? A bit.

I have an office too now, which is a first and am required to wear clothes bought in Marks and Spencer that invariably say Chino on them. I was surprised to find out that dressing nicely costs considerably less than the jeans and hoody combo I've been wearing up until now.
