    First day kilted in the office

    I work in the litigation department of a rather large natural gas company in Houston and my office is in our building in downtown and today is the first day I have stepped up to the plate and worn my kilt into the office. So far all of my experiences have been very positive, however so far only two of my co-workers have seen me. We shall see how it goes!

    Excellent!
    At my work people really look forward to seeing the kilt, I hope it works out the same for you.

    Good for you. Make sure to wander around the building so everyone gets to see you!

    Well done. Hope the kilt continues to be well received. I'm a lawyer too and normally wear a kilt for business.

    Whoops! I did not mean to give the impression I am a lawyer (no patience for college). I am support staff.

    That whole journey of steps thing. Congrats on your first step. I miss being able to wear my kilt all day. Keep us informed.
