i work in an office park (i'm kilted everyday), and there is a lending company next to us. my boss got stopped by one of their employees cause she wanted to let us know that she corrected her co-workers. one day she noticed her co-workers (she described them as a bunch of good-ole-boys) talking about this guy next door that wears a dress or sk*rt all the time. she corrected them and said it was a kilt. my boss confirmed all this, and added "he's a programmer". our next door neighbor responded with "OH, ok". as if everything all made sense. like my "odd behavior" can be excused cause i am "one of those programmer types".
just cause i score "Extreme Geek" on the geek test; doesn't mean that kilt wearing is a geeky thing.
oh well. i'm not letting the ignorance of others bother me.
