employers encouraging kilt wearing?

[macsim]

When I first posed the question of wearing a kilt to work at my new job I would say I was encouraged to wear it. I was surprised given the size of the company (Blue Cross Blue Shield) and thought I would surely be told it would be a distraction or something. I only wear it on "Casual Monday and Friday" so as not to push the envelope too much.

A much-delayed entry on this thread, but here goes:

I was getting a lot of heat from co-workers about not being casual enough on "casual Fridays," so I wore an olive mocker UK in one day. You'd have thought the world just ended! My boss saw me, I explained my rationale, and told him I wouldn't wear the kilt when we had a class in session (I work at a Federal Training Center).

He said "No, you HAVE to wear it when there are classes in session." And so, I've been happily kilted at work (on non-uniform days) ever since. And the responses have almost all been positive since that first day. As for the rest? Who cares?

And I seem to recall you allow dogs on site as well.

I need a job like that.

Ya but it's snowing like crazy here and izzy the inspector her backside loaded with snow just came in from outside to inspect your kilt.... had a nod of approval...and I sent her away.

People at my work are always asking me to wear my kilt. My boss recently said he would give me overtime hours only if I promised to wear my kilt, so I wear it to work about 3 or 4 days a week, my schedule is such that my work week is 4 days, 2 eight hour days and 2 twelve hour days, in short I need more kilts.
