Problem at the golf course

[navycb]

I work at a really culturally diverse company. We have a Nigerian engineer who wears a dashiki on a regular basis and our Engineers from India wear their native dress quite often. I still haven't got up the stones to wear my kilt as a daily work outfit mostly because I have to spend a lot of time on construction sites and it would not be practical, but that might change. They all think I'm the crazy Irishman anyway.

I'm glad to hear it worked out alright.

Glad to hear all is well.

wow! that's just plain weird in this day and age.....here where I live on Prince Edward Island.....we actually have kilted golf tournaments. where you HAVE to wear a kilt in order to play. We also have a "kilted mile" road race. Those are just two examples of kilted sporting events here that aren't highland games.

There's nothing wrong with that - I come a long line of crazy Irishmen ... and Scots ... and Englishmen ... and there may have a wacky Cornishman or two in there as well.

Good to hear that it worked out, and that your company president stepped up for you. Now get out there and enjoy "a good walk ruined," and do it kilted.

I wish I could get away with wearing a kilt to work. My boss might understand as he has a scottish last name but something about me being on a ladder wireing up som lil old lady's lights and a kilt seems like a bad idea to me.

Wonderful that your company president got involved in this. It is equally great that your company allows people to express their cultural diversity. You are indeed fortunate to be working for such a forward thinking, open minded organization.

Just a suggestion. I don't know if you like non-traditional kilts, but the Utilikilt Workman's would be an excellent kilt to wear at construction sites. They are built like a piece on iron, and also have modesty snaps that basically turn them into loose fitting shorts should you need to use them.

Ahhh, sweet victory...

The Utilikilt Caramel Workman's makes a passable Irish Saffron kilt that would be excellent for construction sites. Bet you'd get more "where can I get one" requests than hassles.
