In this small game, you play as an office worker. After arriving at your cubicle, you belatedly remember that it's Hawaiian shirt day, and you forgot to dress properly. Oh no! You forgot to get dressed! You're only in your undies. You need to get home quick without anyone seeing you naked, but how?
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of an interactive fiction game. Please make an honest effort to play the game before reading this walkthrough.
It's Hawaiian shirt day and you forgot to get dressed entirely.

You can make a "bird dress" by wearing sticky notes and make brief forays outside your cubicle, but your "dress" sheds, and after six turns in it, you're as good as naked again and you immediately flee back here. Fortunately, your pad never runs out of sticky notes, so you can always make a new "bird dress" when you need to.

By the way, the game doesn't know the verb WAKE, so don't think you can win the game at turn one with it.

Inventory
Items are listed in the order acquired in this walkthrough.
your undies. You're wearing them.
You may not remove them. When you wear the pants, the undies are finally no longer listed in your inventory.
a pad of sticky notes. They're in your desk drawer.
Wear the notes. You now look like a yellow bird from kids' TV. (Big Bird? Tweety Bird?)
Your pad has a endless supply of notes, so you can wear more notes when necessary.
a bird dress. Create it by wearing the sticky notes.
This outfit sheds every turn. After 6 turns, you're as good as naked again and you immediately flee back to your cubicle.
a roll of toilet paper. It's in the white room.
In your cubicle, wear the roll. You're now wearing a mummy dress.
some bin-baggy pants. Make them from the trash bag and scotch tape by wearing the bag. You automatically wear them.
You must be wearing both the pants and boots to be able to enter reception.
a cordless screwdriver. It's at reception.
In your cubicle, unscrew the wobbly back wall with the screwdriver. This lets you escape via the side entrance and win the game.
