With an e-mail like that, you will be kilted in the office by 2005! Then you would have to change your signature.
Well done!

Glen, I can only dream! When I originally joined Xmarks and put together my sig, I wanted to be realistic and not fantastic. However, as I go through this process, I realize that it really should not take an overly long time to complete. So in honor of your noticing it, I AM changing my sig and goal!

Tomorrow is the big day!!!
OK, for those that have not been following the action,READ THE THREAD
For the rest of my kilted and devoted brothers and sisters, tomorrow is my first day wearing the kilt into the office. I spent a lot of time this afternoon deciding whether the last note I sent to HR needed to be answered before I wear the kilt tomorrow. My opinion is that I have indicated my intent to wear a kilt, my interpretation of the policies, secured my manager's consent (at least tacitly), and invited comments from HR which have not been answered. I view their silence as assent, or paralysis as they try to decide how to handle this, so I will be wearing my kilt to the office tomorrow! Keep me in your thoughts, and I plan to post a picture of my ensemble sometime tomorrow morning. I know that I can not look as fashionable as Ham, but I think that I can look presentable!

Meanwhile in the northwest...
I finally met with my new boss about figuring out the details of the new job. I will be driving one of his trucks in the afternoon to pickup parts that were requested that morning (the stuff they knew they will need) and anything else they remembered before I start driving around. If I don't have much in teh way of deliveries I can offer to help at the site (dig a ditch, hold this wrench, etc...) or I can put stuff that will be out of place back in its place at the shop.
Okay, for this board, who cares about the job, what about the kilt? I wore my SWK black stewart to the dinner we met at. I got a smile and a "Hi" from one lady and a few looks as I walked in but that was it from the pontential peanut gallery. My new boss said something along the lines of "Wearing the kilt today. Do you wear that often?" "I had to wear one a couple weeks ago. A black utility kilt to a wedding I was part of." Then when we got up to leave he said: "Kilt , I love it."
So at best he was fine with it and thought it was a little cool, at worst, he was amused by it. So, it looks like I will be wearing the kilt when ever I want at work. I still would rather wear a canvas freedom kilt if I will be getting it dirty often but considering that this was $62 I won't be heart broken if I have to wash it more than once a week (or two). I won't however, be wearing the wool kilt I have on order from Matt in this job. There is the possibility that I will have to run some pipe under a building from time to time and I do not want to get my only nice kilt in the mud (oh I hope it is only mud) if I can help it.
