another convert :)

So I went over to the new shop today to pick up my new Royal Stewart Philabeg and brought my buddy Mario with me. Mario is lucky enough to have the same kilt size as Rocky so he walked out of there with one of Rocky's prototypes (a Victory). He's going to come out with me to the XMarks get together at Kildare's this weekend so those of you who will be coming get to meet him, too.

When he came back to the office and one of our other coworkers saw that you can get kilts in non-tartan fabrics, his response was "I'm gonna have to get me one of those".

I'm telling you, it's downright viral...

Watch out. The company might create it's own tartan and make kilts required office dress.

I would be happy if one or two other guys started wearing them so then I wouldn't be such a novelty around here.

I believe I have another convert too, I had an email from a guy here in Tasmania who asked my advice on USA kilts, I believe he has placed an order, I plan to visit him when next in his area.

I won't name him cos he's a lurker, but I HOPE HE POSTS HERE SOON! (did you hear me? )

The funniest thing happened. I was posting a "Kilt FAQ" outside of my cube this afternoon when my boss came by. She saw the new Royal Stewart on the hanger in my cube and I casually mentioned my coworker/buddy went with me today to pick it up and came back with one of his own.

The look of horror on her face was priceless.

I think she suffers a bit from her reputation as "that manager who has the guy with the kilt working under her". I think she was maybe picturing how bad it would be if two or three of us were wearing them. In fact, two people (including me) in the department now own kilts and now we're up to four others that each want one of their own.

Rename the department the Highland Department

The look of horror on her face was priceless.

We all have Mary Tyler Moore to thank. You should post a pic of her in the famous capri pants next to the Rob Roy picture.

But that would be too much like rubbing salt into the wound.

I love it!! You guys will just have to clearly demonstrate how much comfort contributes to productivity!!

Well one of my coworkers who is not yet kilted was hoping to get a kilt before the XMarks gathering tomorrow night and join us. I was sad to break the news to him that he waited too long. I think it went kind of like this: when I started wearing a kilt, I was just a freak. But when Mario started wearing one, too, it became a movement. Now that it is socially acceptable around here due to the groundbreaking work by others, he wants in, too.
