Where do you work?

[Nick]

I work at the on-campus bookstore at my university. For a few more months, at any rate. I can work a little longer after I graduate, but after that I have to find another job. As long as you don't look like a total slob, the dress code at work is pretty lenient, so the kilts have always been allowed (though, in all the time there's been an NMU bookstore, I think I'm the only guy who's ever worn a kilt).

Ok, I admit it... I skipped page 6.

Anyway, I thought I'd take my turn.

I work as a nuclear reactor operator on board a United States submarine, the USS Santa Fe.

Needless to say, I don't go to work kilted. Not only would that violate the strict uniform code (so strict in fact that there are uniforms we can wear at work... but not in public), it wouldn't be very safe. Not to mention that I have to climb vertical ladders to get on and off the ship.

Haven't tried my hand at wearing one to any sort of "command function," as I usually avoid those.

What and you missed Cinnabar's post shame on you

I'm a police detective. I no longer have to wear a uniform on a day-to-day basis, but a kilt still wouldn't work. Unfortunately, there are some jobs where you need to blend in, and present a neutral appearance.

However, I also do some teaching/performing with a local Imrov comedy troupe. It's not uncommon for me to be kilted at rehearsals.

[HR Director] Well why don't you tell me something about yourself.

[Cinnabar] Well, I'm very environmentally aware. In fact I rode my bike to this interview. Here's a picture of it:




Okay enough of my stupid jokes. There are a lot of great jobs that people seem to have here.

Well, you did say you spent a fair amount of time in the lab using acid......

Just curious, but is the Santa Fe an SSN or SSBN? I'm ex navy , but a tin can sailor.

SSN. I've never been graced with the honor of serving on the floating hotels known as SSBNs. Likely never will, as I only have the tour I'm on and one other sea tour remaining in my career.

I'm a self-employed remodeling contractor. I do everything from demolition and framing to electrical and tile.

Some days are good for kilt wearing, and some are not. If I'm crawling around in an attic full of rockwool or fiberglass insulation, I opt for jeans. You do NOT want that stuff up yer kilt. And painting, too - hate to ruin an expensive kilt, even a UK.

Framing, trim, tile, cabinetry, drywall - those are good days for the UKs.

Hell, I could probably work in a prom dress if I were so inclined. The quality of my work speaks for me, and I haven't yet had a client who feels the need to complain about my kilts. And if they did, I can get new clients. Although, I probably wouldn't want to deal with female groupies while installing fascia on scaffolding during a windy afternoon.

And for some strange reason, there have been days at Home Depot or Lowe's when I keep bumping into the same women several times in various places throughout the store....

In fact, I have recommended Utilikilts for my uh... shall we say, larger... subcontractors who have the age-old problem of "plumber's crack." <shudder> I suspect a beer-gut cut Workman's will prevent that awful sight.

OK, MY turn.....I am a field service technician for electric lift trucks. (Fork Lift mechanic). I get greasy and work around some redneck morons. I climb up and down the masts as needed, and sometimes crawl around underneath them. I did wear my Stewart hunting to the Company's Holiday party. I had only been with company for 3 months. !. I was one of two employees that wore a kilt. 2. The owner said next year he will wear one too. 3. I was the only technician that was close to dressed up. Factory reps from our products actually talked to me. Women wanted their picture taken with me.. I had a blast. I have answered many questions from those who were there and some from those who were not. I was even askeed to line up a ppiper for a co-owner's daughter's wedding. to paraphrase Mel Brooks, It's nice to the kilted person. I did wear it to church, but the pastor made a crappy remark about it. I cant wait until he's gone. Happy Tartan Week.
