I'm a contract employee, not a fulltime gov't employee. I work for the Civil Exchange section of a metropolitan area doing translation, interpretation, and event planning. Basically means that I work less hours, have more vacation hours, and get paid more than my coworkers, but cannot get raises or promotions, and can be fired more easily

Yes. I really dig the knits from that season. Can never find any in size 54 for me though.

Mids are terrible : /

I don't mind the brown highs but most people probably will

No, I'm saying the highs in the black colorway (aka showing the mids just to show the black techno color)

I'd skip completely in that case, nothing worse than looking down at an okay version of what you actually want.
