Hey Ozone, I'm here. Work nights. Just home.

So pretty routine day. First the admin ladies ganged up on me and said, "Where's your kilt." Just said I was directed not to wear it for this meeting today...that brought silence.

My supervisor gave me a polite and quiet "Thank you." For wearing pants.

So at the big meeting one of the younger therapists says real loud, "Ron, why aren't you wearing a kilt today?"

The meeting went well. I did well with the prospect, turns out we have some common friends in the business down in Phoenix - both highly respected therapists, and knowing them was big points. And, knowing some specialty stuff they wanted to know about saved my supervisor from looking dumb.

Afterward she asked me if I'd been in marketing...um, thought you read my re'sume' - 27 years of sales and marketing before becoming a therapist...

Then got an emai from herl that she and I meet with the CEO tomorrow afternoon. Don't think this has much to do with kilts, rather the unrelated conflicts between us.

Made a decision to wear pants tomorrow too. Even though she gave the okay for me to wear a kilt tomorrow gonna do pants again - my choice - then back to kilts Thurs and Fri for St. Paddy's...the USA Kilts semi trads - saffron and Ireland's National.

As far as wearing pants for the first time in over 19 months, no fun at all as you'd expect. At least they still fit.

So, anyone hear from Ron, now that it is tuesday?

Ron, i hope you are well and I hope the pants didn't chaff too much. Perhaps, if things dont work out, you need to consider a more kilt-friendly state job?

Hang in there Ron, The wrinkles will eventually work their way out!

Ron,

Good Job!
Sounds like things went well. Hopefully the CEO will wonder aloud why you are wearing no kilt as well. It's stressful times like this that show you who you friends really are...interesting isn't it?

Ron,

I'm most sorry to hear about these developments. I know that in the end you will make the decision that works best for you. The fact that you are a valued employee that management does not want to loose may ultimately have some bearing on the final draft of the dress code.

Here, again, we have a double standard based on narrow minded, preconceived notions.

Chin up brother Ron - we are all sending our best thoughts your way - I hope the collective power of the kilt sways the day!

Thanks for the support guys.

The decision to wear pants again today is mine. Partly because the choice is mine. Mostly to avoid losing focus on the non-kilt related issues which are core.

Just trusting the process today, too emotionally drained to do otherwise.
