Caught Kilted by Coworker

[UmAnOnion]

Line dancing - like "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "Mucara Walk" and such - and two-steppin'. Yeah, it's more fun in a kilt. I tried jeans again a few weeks ago, but I felt like I was wearing weights. Trouble is, I like the cowboy drag, too - I'm just gonna have t' limit that t'wen I only hafta stand and pose, I s'pose.

It is a lot more fun in a kilt (like just about everything else in the world) I ventured to my local 2-step line dance bar kilted for the first time a few weeks back. got partnered with this sick SOB who took great delight in spinning me for all i was worth at every available opportunity.
for the first few times i tried to maintain my modesty but once my head was spinning i really didnt care any more and had a lot more fun!

That's why I usually lead.

Well, that, and I tend to back-lead anyway.

On certain line dances, a couple of my friends will cheer when I spin fast. Whatever. I'm so cheap, I'll take adulation however I can get it.

Now Now, Rex, I don't believe that a man of your calibre would be "cheap"!

Easy, maybe, but not cheap!! (just kidding, mate!! )

Having to totally suppress who you are is a gigantic waste of time and honestly, it messes with your abillity to perform in your job. We bring our SELVES to work...all our skills, talents and insights, and if you have to leave a significant part of who you are out of that, well...it's just dumb.

So good on ya for opening both of those doors.

what a great quote Alan , might have to store that and use it again!

It was only a matter of time.

ditto. I like how open it is out here.

Good on you, Rex - it must be true that the kilt inspires trust and openess.

Funny that I work for a company based just outside your fair city that would, unquestionably, fire me the moment anyone in the company found out. Therefore, I remain back in the closet behind all of Hamish's kilts. I feel my responsibility is to my client companies first, and despite their narrow-mindedness, my company does offer the absloute best product and service combinations for my clients so I accept it for now. Even my sports world (power lifting / Scots heavy athletics) necessitates staying closeted. Luckily, I have an understanding partner, family and close friends.

One day, maybe, I'll have half the courage of some of you guys to be true to myself. Maybe I should kilt up more around the office and see how that trust and openess thing works around here.

If that's true then you should not be worrying about protecting this discriminitory client. You should expose them to the world so reasonable people (i.e. non idiots) can refuse to do business with them.
