    Hmmm...I have a great idea coming on here! Have your friend the accountant kick you repeatedly in the leg (which leg doesn't really matter, except for the fact that you'll want to take your ability to drive into account). Next, you say, "Gee, I either have to stay home for the next three weeks, come to work with nothing covering my lower extremities...or, gee, boss, maybe I could wear a kilt??"

    This is a perfect idea.

    Ain't it a grind?

    You're doing the right things right so far.

    I won out in my kilted at work mess this year when a manager who supported my kilts told me I could grieve the "no" from the CEO. Turns out our agency grievance policy was rife with words about supporting employee diversity etc.

    I filled out the grievance forms and the CEO dropped his "no." Grievance was a strong word for what the forms actually were - more of an appeal.

    I'm guessing you've already checked to see if your company's policies allow you to appeal the no kilt decision.....?

    What's so weird to me is the Bozeman phone directory is full of Celtic names...go figure.
