I don't work. Well, actually I can't work. I've been disabled since January of 2005. Prior to that, I was manager of industrial engineering for a mid-sized manufacturing company. Wearing kilts would have been a safety issue on the production floor - sheet metal stamping, forming, and welding - like working with giant razor blades.

I now have my own dress code, and it requires that kilts be worn full-time. They are also a great benefit for my medical condition - I can't sit, stand, or walk for any length of time, and many of my sweat glands no longer work. The extra vetilation is a blessing - keeps me from overheating.
