I can totally relate to that!  I taught high school for 33 years and 
nearly every day I wore a shirt and tie to work, up to and including my 
last day of classes when I retired in 2019.  The only exceptions were 
school spirit days which meant a school T-shirt, or a teacher conference 
day when there were no students around.  My district was notorious for 
calling a weather (snow day) closing at the last possible moment and 
there were many snowy mornings I'd go out and clear the driveway, go 
back inside and dress for work and hear the news flash on the radio just 
as I finished tying my tie that school had been called off for the day. 
If school wasn't closed, then the plow had more than likely come by and 
filled the end of the driveway by the time I was finished dressing.

Fun times ... ?
