I’m attending an event in a few days for which I’ll be wearing a suit and tie, which means I had to bring my suits in to be cleaned and pressed.

The last time I wore a suit was on my last business trip, December 2019. I figured then that I had no travel scheduled until February, so I the suits in a pile in my closet to be brought to the cleaners.

And they’ve been sitting in that pile for nearly four years.

Telling Julie “I’m bringing my suits to the cleaners” and then doing so was weird and retro, like using a rotary phone.

The dry cleaner hasn’t changed. They still give out a paper claim ticket, rather than using a fancypants app.
