I am a grant writer and copy writer for a nonprofit organization. Lots of sitting and writing, working with agency staff to learn about their programs and how they benefit their clients and the community, stuff like that.

I never really got to the point where I thought about what I'd do if the CEO said no. Our agency is very accepting and, usually, supportive of just about any kind of diversity and shows of one's heritage and tradition, so I wasn't really worried. I just went through the personnel manual and used a lot of the same phrases and buzzwords that the agency uses when talking about diversity.

Just to clarify: I don't think anyone's too worried about me being distracted. Management is a little too concerned that my kilt and I will be the center of attention beyond the first hour of the day, and that wouldn't be good for productivity. I think come April 6th, I might just keep something of a low profile so I don't come across as an attention ho and others can't mention me and my male unbifurcated garment in that light.
