April 6th - Tartan Day - Who's Particpating

**planemaker** · 28th March 09, 04:19 AM

Hello Rabble,

In the US and Canada April 6th is Tartan Day. The day set aside to celebrate the Scottish countributions to the growth of our countries.

I am going to work kilted. Anyone else? Any events planned?

I would if I had my kilt LOL. Sadly enough it hasn't arrived yet *curls up in a corner and shivers lol

Based on the proposal I submitted to management at my office, April 6th is one of two days I get to come to work kilted. The other is November 30th (Feast Day of St. Andrew). This will be my first kilted day at work, hopefully leading to many others once they see it's not a big deal!

I'll be participating for sure, April 6th is also my birthday!

I'll be signing my new mortgage... Kilted of course.

I got fired last week, and then declined to start working there again a few days later. I can wear what I want, but I can't afford any more of what I want.

(And I am bummed, I kinda hoped to have a American Heritage from Rocky by the Fourth of July. But I have somewhat more important things to focus on right now.

My manager, for some reason, has danced around the issue for quite some time. However, my supervisor is absolutely fine with it. My manager is kind of a prick anyway. I'm gonna keep pressing the issue with him though

. Hopefully, he'll say OK but, we'll see

It's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Don the tartan proudly, lad.

Being on active duty, I am out of luck. However, on the 4th a group of us are getting together at Keagans Pub in Newport News, to celebrate the event.
