Kilted in Jail...and more today
So today's a big day. Big agency meeting this afternoon, then donating blood (will by my 78th pint), then the agency's holiday party at a local saloon.
Decided to wear my Antarctica tartan kilt and tie (sorry Ham), white dress shirt, grey argyll, navy kilt hose with red/orange traditional garter ties.
Lots of ooohs and aaahs from lady coworkers this morning. Then the phone rings and its the local deputy sheriff. One of my clients relapsed, got drunk and roudy last night and was arrested and jailed. Client wants me to come down and talk - after past arrests the client is looking at six months jail time and not happy...particularly since they were in a blackout and don't remember what they did to get in jail.
So drove over. No problem at all with the detention officers. Let me into the bowels of the jail and to a private room (save security camera) to talk with the client. Was there about an hour. Never a comment from client, detention staff, or other inmates. Just me kilted.
I've been "to" jail kilted before, but this is the first time they let me "in" to the jail kilted to do my work.
