So per your request the spill about the new job.
Its a cushy Gov job. Yep that's the spill. I am 1-4 interviews with the Gov out here which REALLY sucks.
Job 1 - Re-posted because they wanted someone with a degree.
Job 2 - Said I was too over qualified.
Job 3 - I was a lead candidate but was beaten by someone with a degree (its all done on a points system)
Job 4 - IS MINE!!!
Finally in with the gov, pending a criminal background and credit check which I am sure should be fine unless something comes up that I am not sure about.
And YES Patty I will get to wear all my cute shoes which as you could probably guess I am VERY excited about.
But I am VERY confused about a few things. See to me business casual is slacks and a blouse, but having gone in today to fill out paperwork "business casual" to these people are flip flops and hoodies?
Am I just strange? I mean that a little "casual" for business casual, no?

Congratulations! I hope the job works out well for you and is a good fit.
I haven't worked in a long time but I know on casual Fridays at the Red Cross people wear jeans and a nice shirt for the most part.
Congratulations on the new job!
I used to work in a casual environment, people wore whatever they wanted... I LOVED that. I tend to dress smart/casual, but I like the fact that it wasn't 'forced' on me.
Geez, I don't get to read blogs for awhile.. and change is afoot! Great news on the job!
You wear what you like. Look smart compared to the rest!
I think you are correct with your discription of business casual (I work at home so you might want another opinion). Here is what I suggest... Go with the slacks and blouse, until someone mentions that you are over-dressed (or ask if you are trying to suck up or make them look bad). If any of those things happen, blame it on the shoes. Seriously, when I show up somewhere over-dressed, I simply flash my shoes with an apologetic smile and say something along the lines that, "I pick out what shoes I feel like wearing first and then find something to go with them." Works every time!
Good job on the job score!
you're right .. Business Casual is a pair of slacks and a blouse- no friggin stockings, panty hose or whatever they call them these days. My employer has business casual too but there are a few folks that don't really follow the rules..
Yeah, that sounds more like "Friday Casual" to me.
CONGRATS!!
Congrats on the new job. My last job was extremely casual - it was a nonprofit company and I didn't deal with anyone so I could pretty much wear what I wanted.
