Day 309



We've all been there, haven't we?
Late into the evening, long after the children have gone home, mopping up all the half-chewed remnants of biscuit sludge that they've left on the carpet; a precursor to re-sanitising the toilets by sponging off the faeces that they've managed to cast everywhere but in the toilet bowl.
Or trotting up to the third-floor stock room to fetch shoes for the fifteenth time because that's actually a less arduous task than trying to explain to your overweight transsexual customer that they will look ridiculous in any female footwear they will ever consider buying.
Yes sir, we've all despised our jobs at one point or another, and when those meagre wage packets slip into our bank accounts almost entirely unnoticed, we've all found ourselves asking, surely there's More To Life than this?

That's exactly what Matt did up in Edinburgh during a waking moment on his day job. He finally snapped and realised he had a choice. He could either come into work tomorrow, chainsaw rattling away in hand, and mutilate all his bosses and management in a satisfying film-worthy protest, or he could jack the whole thing in and found the More To Life Apparel clothing label that he always wanted.

Fortunately for Day 309 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge, he chose the latter.

Matt has kindly donated the first T-shirt from his collection, the design of which was inspired by his resignation. The King and Queen chess pieces representing corporate overlords lay broken in the aftermath of one of their Pawns awakening from his droid-like state and casting off his shackles of oppression.

I suspect that Matt is now much happier without a pay check. Mate.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
