Kilts in the office

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

....Trying to figure out who #3 is...

Remember, some of the worst things we ever "experience" never actually happen.

Ron and Dave,

I agree totally with the fact that sometimes our fears are worse than the actual experience. One of the reasons I started this thread was to see what others experiences had been. I think that the guy I work for would probably not have a problem himself, but would be concerned how his boss would react. I myself don't really know what the reaction will be. I am slowly trying to introduce the concept of the kilt by talking about wearing it outside the office, and getting people's reactions.

I had planned on going with solid contemporary kilts because they are very similar to what I currently wear, usually khakis or something similar. I think that they will fit in better in our office environment. On occasion I might wear my SW Nightstalker, but I feel that it might actually be too dressy for our business casual environment.

I will give you a hint about #3 and tell you it is not a US based company. I did come across a press release showing the CEO of our Indonesia operations wearing a kilt to a diversity function, so I do have that going for me!

Just wear it!

Less chat more splat.

Nothing to it but to do it.

You wont actually know till you try it.

Yeah, but it gets me in to all kinds of trouble.

Seriously though. You can do it.

If I can walk in to a honkey tonk bar full of ignorant rednecks while wearing a kilt, and walk back out of said place in one piece, you can wear your kilt to work and probably not have to worry about to much trouble.

While I am fond of thinking things through, there is also value in this approach. Sometimes I believe we all overthink things.

Sometimes it's easiest to test the waters by just jumping in.

Hindsight being what it is, I probably should have thought a little more about going in to said honky tonk bar. They had the best ribs in town... I figured I'd just walk right in and get me some.

Walking in wasn't the problem, and neither was walking out with a belly full of ribs.

In between those two peaceful moments were some rather hectic ones out in the parking lot.

Had I thought about it a little more I would have realised walking in to a honky tonk full of rednecks probably wasn't such a good idea, and probably wasn't worth the ribs.

Although I must say, the people inside were really suprised to see me come from the front door for the second time... They all hunkered down over their plates and their drinks and nobody said nothing to me. None of the guys that went out in to the parking lot with me to settle our differences came back inside.

The waitress said men in kilts are sexy... And that she was tired of looking at the fat slobs that hung out in that place :mrgreen:
