Kilt Week

[Riverkilt]

I've been wearing kilts to work for some time now. But not full time yet. Did rearrange my office so I'm no longer sitting directly across from clients. Now its sort of a 45 degree angle, so clients aren't looking "up my kilt."

This week I decided to go to work kilted every day. On day three my clinical supervisor asked me teasingly, "So is this Kilt Week?" I responded with a smile, "Why yes, it is, thank you."

Of course every week is "Kilt Week." But also thought that made a great positive reply.

"Why are you wearing a kilt?"

"Its Kilt Week."

Soon it will be Kilt Month, followed by Kilt Year. Right?

Hmm I love the idea of a kilt year.

I think the Scottish have a year-based horoscope like the Chinese. Every year is the Year of the Kilt...

So yesterday I'm kilted for the 4th day in a row (work four 10s) and the CEO passes me in the hall. He says, "Is it Kilt Day today?" and I said, "Yes, it is." then he says, "No, its Kilt Week." and I again said, "Yes it is."

Two days earlier I'd been standing in the office doorway of the CFO asking a question and the CEO came up behind me and interrupted to ask her a question but while he was doing that he was giving me a friendly shoulder rub. No kilt comments then.

In the behavioral health industry today, attention to culture and diversity is all the rage. Somehow, I think coming to work kilted helps them with compliance in that area.

Main thing, I was COMFORTABLE this week. While I've been wearing kilts to work regularly, this was the first week to wear them every day.

This was also a stressful, busy week. I think the freedom of being kilted helped me cope in a more relaxed way.

Kilts as stress reducers, I like that Ron!
