Kilts in the office

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

...... If this seems hostile and confrontational, it is. I have not yet hit the magical 12 cup mark on my coffee intake that makes life happy and wonderful. And I have had some bad kilting experiences lately. I do wish to make it known that I am not angry or onery at any of you.

Dread, no offense taken. This would be one approach and if I were older, or younger, or single, I might be willing to take it on, but being married with 2 lovely young daughters, at the middle of my career, and just finished a forced job change (last company went though a merger) that required us to pack up and move from FL to Chicago, I think I will go the other way.

I also have seen some of your late night posts, so can understand needing more coffee to be ready to face the world!

Take the diplomatic route.I asked my boss,(who also owns the company),if I could wear my kilt at work.Her reply-"If you're man enough,wear it!"So far I've no negative comments,only good ones.Most of our clients seem to love it!

Hey Dread, I have a solution for your problem. Get your doctor to PRESCRIBE kiltwearing as a health measure. The building management can't argue that.

Hey... My doctors really did tell me to stop wearing pants.

Anyhoo, the issue is settled. I just chatted about it a while ago. I educated them (rather kindly) on what a kilt was. Two of them had never even heard of a kilt. They were actually scared that maybe they had just made a real mistake... And the first thing they wanted to know when I came in to the office was if I had contacted a lawyer. They don't need another public relations fiasco. I got an apology.

They even thanked me for thinking so highly of where I live that I go about in formal dress.

I must have really scared them.

And the dreadlock issue was resolved to. I explained to them that I am not a Rastafarian, I do not do drugs, and mine are for personal and religious reasons.

I was asked to try and keep them tucked under a bandana or a hat though.

Dread, glad to see they're backing off. Communication can work wonders sometimes.
