Where do you work?

If I was on $35-$60 million a year, I'd stay where I was!!!!!! ;)

I wish. Even if I was making a % of the profit I make for the company I'd probably stay too. They're really good people, unfortunately, I've progressed about as far as I'm going to go in our corporate structure. Its a family run company, and buying into the company will never be an option.

Actually, check your PM, got a question.

Assistant Retail Manager for a cigar distributor. So far I've only worn
the kilt a few times at work but it has been well received by most
in my company. They even put my kilted photo up on their website.
It helps that this town has a strong celtic community, there's a store
that sells kilts right across the street so I don't look out of place at all.

Hmmm. I may have to get to know you better... Cigars, eh? Any ever happen to fall off the back of a truck? LOL

Seriously, that's really cool that you have a kilt shop across the street from work. Maybe they can get an ad campaign going with kilted men relaxing while smoking cigars. I'll volunteer to be a part of the ad.

I'm an electrician and it depends on the day and what I'll be doing. Crawling around on hands and knees gets old.

Count me in, too.

I'm a university trained Medieval Historian who made the odd decision to become a firefighter. Unfortunately I was disabled in the line of duty and had to retire. Now I'm a stained glass artist & instructor. I own my own company so I wear kilts every single day and no longer own any pants. I also own a small internet company but I don't do most of the work, just keep the profits. It's great being the boss because I can do whatever I want as long as it's not illegal.

I know this is an old thread. It started and paused before I got here, I think. I stumbled upon it doing a search on some term I've since forgotten, and enjoyed reading all nine and a half pages so far. I learned a lot more about a lot of people today.

As I may have stated on other threads, I now work for "that fraction bank" as the manager of education and training for project management methodology. That's not my title, but it's what I do. Twenty years ago (!) I started off as a COBOL developer and somehow migrated through "production support" to "team leader" to "project manager," and now to "trainer/training manager."

I work near one of the executive suites, so suits are de rigueur, except of Fridays--when it's suits without ties, as long as you don't plan to walk into the sancto sanctorum--but on the distant other end of the floor, it's mostly business casual. There is no clearly stated dress code, though it can be summarized as "we know inappropriate when we see it."

I MIGHT get away with wearing one of my better kilts to the office on a special occasion, but I'm already known as the eccentric at the office, what with my moustache, shoulder bag, and cubicle décor. For now, I'm content to wear the suit--in fact, I came home with a new one today (gorgeous brown pinstripe!)--and can obsess as easily about silk ties as I can handsome tartans.

Rex in Cincinnati

I have the best job that I have ever had. I own and make kilts for a living. Since I own the company I get to set the dress code. An guess what, Kilts are required. So I have to wear a kilt to work.
