A couple months ago I posted about asking if I could wear a kilt at work. Well, there have been a few developments.

I asked my boss, and she said she would talk to the district manager. The DM never answered about it, so I was told that yes, I could wear a kilt as long as it conformed to the color guidelines. So I wore my black UK Mocker.

Well, Jo-Ann Fabrics is closing the store I work at. Now that we are actually owned by the liquidation company and not JAS (it's kind of an odd arrangement), my boss said I could wear any kilt I want, so I wore my SWK Hunting MacLeod the next day.

I've gotten a lot of reactions at work. The girls at work (I'm the only male) all think it's great. Lots of people in the store ask me about it, too. I've gotten "Why are you wearing a skirt?" from a couple wee ones, and the standard "Are you Scottish?" One of the more interesting ones was "There'd better be a joke behind that getup."

The funniest reaction, though, has been from the representaive from the liquidation company. She's a less than 30 blonde from LA of all places. She's there every day, so she always know's when I'm kilted. She thought it was cold when she first got here, and it's about 30 degrees less than that now, so she is puzzled and amazed that I'll go about with my knees exposed. I told here, I've lived here my whole life, and I'm used to the cold, plus the kilt isn't cold anyway, but she still doesn't get it.

Cheers,
Nick
