    As you know, Ron, The complaints from clients are usually because they really don't want to be there in the first place, and any excuse they can have to "throw back" is common. As your co-worker said, only 2 complaints is great even in any counseling situation.

    Good news, quite happy to hear that it has resolved, though I knew it would with time.

    You know, that statement really bothers me. Now I know your clients can be troubled and might fixate on things, but if they can't tell what you're wearing under the kilt, that should mean everything is okay.

    I always get the biggest kick out of this attitude. It makes as much sense as saying "I have no way of knowing what he's wearing under his pants..."

    Back in college, I had a buddy whose pick-up line was "I'm not wearing anything under my underwear."

    And congraulations, Ron!

    Congratulations, Ron! This is great news.

    BTW, I do think it's a good idea to strap on a pair of trousers once a week, just to show that "wearing a kilt" isn't really a Big Hairy Issue and to demonstrate a relaxed attitude about it. If there's any "power play" stuff going on, having trousers on once in a while will ease a bit of the tension and you're STILL kilted most of the time.

    Aye Alan, I agree. Still in trousers today. Wanna eyeball the CEO over this just to be sure.
