My Turn To Deal With A Dress Code

[morrison]

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.

KILT..... ON!

Ron, what a story! I've been away a few days and come back to all this!

A thought on dress code:

If you get an opportunity to be part of the process, it seems to me that as kilts are an "equivalent" of pants, that it is not only the pants but the way they are worn that is important. In the same way the kilt is worn in different ways for different occasions. On occasion chinos, on occasion dress pants (suit even), on occasion jeans. If you are going to a more formal meeting when dress chinos and a sports coat (tie) would be worn, then it would be inappropriate to wear a UK survival and t-shirt. A more formal tartan kilt and kilt jacket (tie) would be more appropriate. But, how you would write that into a formal code I am not sure. Perhaps some clever Xmarks member could write a "boiler-plate" code.

Go Figure!!??

The same lady that brought this on was cheerful today (I was wearing a black shirt, black kilt hose, USA Kilts casual Warrior tartan kilt and matching flashes)...she says she likes the tartan, that the kilt looks good, and that she REALLY likes the thingies on my socks and asks what they're called. I explained they were flashes.

Later, she brought a visiting dignitary by to meet me. In the course of the conversation the dignitary says, "Well, now I know what a Macdonald tartan looks like." Got to politely explain that this was a fashion tartan that I liked since it was purple and our agency did a lot of support for the local domestic violence agency that I'm also on the board of...and that I'd been embarrassed not to have a purple kilt for various events where wearing purple in support of domestic violence prevention was expected.

So, I'm confused, but happy by her apparent change of attitude.

Ron, I don't want to be a wet blanket here, but I would suggest caution with this woman. She's changed gears a little fast, and that indicates to me that she may have something up her sleeve that isn't too pleasant. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen it happen before where someone gets nice to just set someone up.

Just my $0.02.

[Riverkilt]

Aye, for sure have that in mind too, but for now taking it on face value...added to her public okie doakie think it gives some reassurance.

We shall see.

Hey Riverkilt....


Mate, keep us informed - I'm still outraged on your behalf, but I want you to know you have support from all over the world (literally!).

There is another possible explanation for your supervisor's sudden change of attitude - perhaps *her* boss has told her to back off ... maybe even with some distinct "emphasis"?

Just a thought... keep up the good work!

cheers
