Where do you work?

[GlassMan]

I'm a university trained Medieval Historian who made the odd decision to become a firefighter. Unfortunately I was disabled in the line of duty and had to retire. Now I'm a stained glass artist & instructor. I own my own company so I wear kilts every single day and no longer own any pants. I also own a small internet company but I don't do most of the work, just keep the profits. It's great being the boss because I can do whatever I want as long as it's not illegal.

I know this is an old thread. It started and paused before I got here, I think. I stumbled upon it doing a search on some term I've since forgotten, and enjoyed reading all nine and a half pages so far. I learned a lot more about a lot of people today.

As I may have stated on other threads, I now work for "that fraction bank" as the manager of education and training for project management methodology. That's not my title, but it's what I do. Twenty years ago (!) I started off as a COBOL developer and somehow migrated through "production support" to "team leader" to "project manager," and now to "trainer/training manager."

I work near one of the executive suites, so suits are de rigueur, except of Fridays--when it's suits without ties, as long as you don't plan to walk into the sancto sanctorum--but on the distant other end of the floor, it's mostly business casual. There is no clearly stated dress code, though it can be summarized as "we know inappropriate when we see it."

I MIGHT get away with wearing one of my better kilts to the office on a special occasion, but I'm already known as the eccentric at the office, what with my moustache, shoulder bag, and cubicle décor. For now, I'm content to wear the suit--in fact, I came home with a new one today (gorgeous brown pinstripe!)--and can obsess as easily about silk ties as I can handsome tartans.

Regards,
Rex in Cincinnati

I have the best job that I have ever had. I own and make kilts for a living. Since I own the company I get to set the dress code. An guess what, Kilts are required. So I have to wear a kilt to work.

I have been working as a "Free-lance" Film/Television Production person - I'm a member of the Director's Guild of America - and if or when I win an Oscar for some film I worked on, you know I will be wearing a kilt - Hope I don't have a "wardrobe" malfunction when I am on stage. :rolleyes:

The last year I have been a stay at home dad to take care of my boy. Wear a kilt a few times a month and often to my new group "New World Celts"...

Fun times

I work for a road transport company, more or less as the solver-cum-scapegoat for vehicles sent to the middle of nowhere. Speaking a few European languages helps. Whilst I have my own office now and work alone at the moment, I don't wear my kilt to work unless for some reason I am called out of an evening. It's just too nice to get home and change into clothes I like!

In a few weeks I'll be starting the training academy for Corrections officer work. Won't be any kilts in the prison. When I'm off the clock I'll be in the kilt. I'll be riding to work in uniform and from work most likely in my kilt. I ride an H-D wearing my kilt. I go to the bike stores wearing my kilt. I do many things in my kilt.

I sell Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The Davidson family were Scottish immigrants about five generations ago. My bosses family were Irish immigrants about five generations ago. You can pretty well imagine the testosterone poisoned way most of my customers dress. You'd think this would be a culture that would embrace eccentricity. Apparently that's not the case. I get to wear a kilt to work about six times a year for Scottish/Irish holidays (real or invented, I'm not above manufacturing and opportunity if I can get away with it). Some of my customers are beginning to get vocal about their support for my kilts and are questioning why the compny won't let me dress any way I want. I don't know whether this will help or make matters worse.

Just imagine the the testosterone levels inside the walls at the prison!!!
Jamie, if I can I'll get more people aware of H-D and the kilt.

Jim LeFebre former Seattle Mariners Manager wore a grass skirt in a Gilligan episode!
