I used to iron my shirt every night so it would look clean and crisp the next day. I will continue to iron my shirts before a five day trip but I've ruined too many shirts using hotel irons, and that is just something I can't afford to do. Sometimes we just don't have the tools for a pressed uniform, last thing I want it brown, yellow, whatever color stains. I'd rather stick it out with a few wrinkles and have a clean shirt when I get home. Unfortunately with my schedule this month I have four five day trips which makes me look like a slob by day four or five. I apologize, but what should I do?
I have no desire of being passive-aggressive. I show up to work, stay up on my books, and try not to **** off the captain. Unfortunately my company chooses not to provide us with quality hotel rooms. I don't need to stay at a hilton but the ability to use the iron would be nice. In fact I found a **** ring in my sink the other day. I'm just glad I don't commute because I would be seen as unprofessional. Just don't be too quick to judge because you don't know reasons for wrinkled shirts which extend past being lazy.
