Where do you work?

[Zyzzyx]

I'm another one of the folks in the I.T. field. Been doing basically help-desk stuff for the last four years for a K-12 distance-learning school (think homeschooling, but with accredited teacher support). Also been the guy to keep the servers and such up and going to keep the office happy. Got my first UK about a year ago. Wore it occasionally to work, no more comments than I expected. After I worked the UK booth at the local highland games last October, I've been kilted full time at work since. I currently have six different UKs, and am lookig at getting a SWK heavyweight, and maybe trying my hand at making a kilt. My coworker in the I.T. department also has a selection of UKs, and he wears them probably 90% of the time. So for the most part we're a kilted I.T. department. Our department head is fairly new, she's been here about four months. Don't think I've ever seen her wear a skirt.

In a few weeks I'll be moving, SoCal to eastern Washington. Don't have a job yet, so I'll be doing kilted interviews. Oughta be interesting.

Didn't realize there were so many IT people around here. I freelance part time fixing/installing/maintaining computers and networks for small offices in the area. There are some jobs I can go to in a kilt without a problem and others I wouldn't. I get to know the atmosphere of the business before I bring up a kilt. It's just one of those things - when I'm in their office or business I come off as a representative of them so I respect their decisions. The rest of the time I'm in a home office so it's whatever I'm in the mood for.

Kilted Groundskeeping.

[Paco500]

I am a Sales Engineer for a big IT Services company. Most of my customer interaction is over the phone. I work a kilt to the holiday party and got a very positive response and have started wearing a UK about once a week.

Dress is very casual, just can't be sloppy or offensive (there is not actual dress code, my manager and I spent about an hour trying to find one- he's supportive- we were actually just doing pre-emptive investigations looking for official support in case anyone had an issue with the kilt).

I once or twice a year I see customers face to face, I usually wear a suit. I am there to support a sales person, and would wear whatever they asked. Here's to hoping I get asked to wear the kilt eventually.

I'm considered uniformed personnel being a firefighter so no kilts at work. Being new to kilting most of the guys I work with don't know I wear a kilt outside of work. A few know, and recently I've been questioned a bit about it but haven't recieved any negative feedback, which I expect, Boston being as parochial as it is.
