Into The Breech - Kilted at Work
Finally just decided to kilt up and show up for work.
Two days in a row now...only flak came from my supervisor with a bunch of nervous comments, and the CEO with a nervous comment. Everyone else ignored it except for some compliments on how cool they looked.
Started with UKs, tan original yesterday, black workman's today (complete with my peace and love carabanier dealies). Tomorrow the olive mocker.
Off to the Arizona Ren Faire and Highland Games Friday, so kilted all this 4 day weekend. Plan to show up kilted next week.
I've got 20 some of these things now with three more on the way...seems silly not to enjoy wearing them.
My lurking fear is that some misguided manager would sit me down and tell me "no" for some silly reason. But when I think it through don't think that could happen since there's so much emphasis on recognizing culture and diversity in the mental health field these days. AND, I spent a kilted weekend last fall at a conference with a super honcho from the regional mental health authority and she loved the kilts.
So, as much as I detest Nike, maybe their slogan is the right one for this....just do it...
Only down side so far has been realizing the need for some accessories, like matching sox, color coordinated shirts...guess I can do some shopping while in the big city this weekend.
