    It helps that this town has a strong celtic community, there's a store
    that sells kilts right across the street so I don't look out of place at all.
    Hmmm. I may have to get to know you better... Cigars, eh? Any ever happen to fall off the back of a truck? LOL

    Seriously, that's really cool that you have a kilt shop across the street from work. Maybe they can get an ad campaign going with kilted men relaxing while smoking cigars. I'll volunteer to be a part of the ad.

    I'm an electrician and it depends on the day and what I'll be doing. Crawling around on hands and knees gets old.

    I'm a university trained Medieval Historian who made the odd decision to become a firefighter. Unfortunately I was disabled in the line of duty and had to retire. Now I'm a stained glass artist & instructor. I own my own company so I wear kilts every single day and no longer own any pants. I also own a small internet company but I don't do most of the work, just keep the profits. It's great being the boss because I can do whatever I want as long as it's not illegal.

    I know this is an old thread. It started and paused before I got here, I think. I stumbled upon it doing a search on some term I've since forgotten, and enjoyed reading all nine and a half pages so far. I learned a lot more about a lot of people today.

    As I may have stated on other threads, I now work for "that fraction bank" as the manager of education and training for project management methodology. That's not my title, but it's what I do. Twenty years ago (!) I started off as a COBOL developer and somehow migrated through "production support" to "team leader" to "project manager," and now to "trainer/training manager."

    I work near one of the executive suites, so suits are de rigueur, except of Fridays--when it's suits without ties, as long as you don't plan to walk into the sancto sanctorum--but on the distant other end of the floor, it's mostly business casual. There is no clearly stated dress code, though it can be summarized as "we know inappropriate when we see it."

    I MIGHT get away with wearing one of my better kilts to the office on a special occasion, but I'm already known as the eccentric at the office, what with my moustache, shoulder bag, and cubicle décor. For now, I'm content to wear the suit--in fact, I came home with a new one today (gorgeous brown pinstripe!)--and can obsess as easily about silk ties as I can handsome tartans.

    Regards,
    Rex in Cincinnati
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    I have the best job that I have ever had. I own and make kilts for a living. Since I own the company I get to set the dress code. An guess what, Kilts are required. So I have to wear a kilt to work.

    I'm I the last???

    I have been working as a "Free-lance" Film/Television Production person - I'm a member of the Director's Guild of America - and if or when I win an Oscar for some film I worked on, you know I will be wearing a kilt - Hope I don't have a "wardrobe" malfunction when I am on stage. :rolleyes:

    The last year I have been a stay at home dad to take care of my boy. Wear a kilt a few times a month and often to my new group "New World Celts"...

    Fun times

    I have been working as a "Free-lance" film/television production person - I'm a non-union Director of Photography (and occasionally a director) - and if or when I win an Oscar for some film I worked on, you know I will be wearing a kilt when I am onstage.

    I too an a stay at home dad, most of the time (two beautiful kids, one each flavor). I'm kilted most of the time, including shoots, check out the web site.
