So the logical part of me is tempted to think that two t-shirts a day is enough and I don't really need to bother with changing a third time, but then the professional part of me thinks I ought to take another, more professional looking shirt to wear during my poster session, and last but not least, the realistic part of me has to think, to adapt an analogy from one of my favorite conference talks (see Slow to Anger, Oct 2007), that half the people who are there won't even come by my poster session, and half of those who do won't even notice what I'm wearing, and of the half that do notice what I'm wearing, half of them won't even care, and the half that do are of little consequence anyways. But even so, when all is said and done, I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to do tomorrow about the shirt dilemma.
