Regular work day

**Schultz** · 27th February 08, 09:09 AM

Finally, I've got around to getting some pics of the X Marks kilt I made from the second run of the tartan!

This is a normal work outfit and the picture is taken in my office which was in quite a disarray at the moment.

No pleat pic at the moment, as it didn't come out well and I've noticed I have to iron those suckers as a few have become quite creased over the past 18 months or so, but I did manage to grab my first Hamish pose

St. Theresa on one side. A Guinness tin poster on the other. What's the deploma?

**Galician** · 27th February 08, 09:18 AM

Nice photo!

Did you convert the jacket?

Good catch, Dirk!

**GMan** · 27th February 08, 09:25 AM

Great photos. Just remember a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind, so do not worry about the disarray.

Very nice job. Looks fantastic!

If you think that's a juxtaposition, you should see the rest of the office. Along one wall I have my little icon corner, which is also near an old "Lovely day for a Guinness" poster. The adjacent wall has two pictures by a local artist specializing in fantasy prints, one of which is Bilbo and Gandalf discussing the Ring and the other a bunch of dragons sitting around a table playing "Houses & Humans".

Needless to say, people think I'm a bit off ;)

The diploma is my BA from American University, soon to (hopefully) be joined by a MLS from Drexel University.

That one is a tweed argyle from Scottishkilts.net, but I did convert the jacket (a brown cotton number bought on sale at JCPenny's a while ago) I'm wearing today. If my camera wasn't acting up (again), I'd take snaps. Maybe tomorrow.

"Houses & Humans"???

You should post that one!!

Of what saints do you have icons? It's rare to see an image of St. Teresa on display, usually it's St. Thérèse.

Nice turn-out! I wonder what your co-workers would have thought if they walked by during your Hamish?

Houses and Humans sets my imagination to twirling. I need to google that one.

Once the camera starts working (I forgot to "eject" it from the computer after uploading my photos and it always stops working for about 12 hours afterwards for som reason) I'll do that. It's very amusing.

It actually is St. Therese of Lisieux and it's a print of on an original painted by her sister Celine that's at the Pope John Paul II Center in DC.

As for the other icons, there are, of course, Christ and the Theotokos, one of St. Joseph the Betrothed (a gift of an archimandrite after I landed my present job) and one of Sts. Peter and Andrew. There's also an icon of St. Michael the Archangel (my patron saint). I'd like to get one of St. Jerome, as I'm a librarian and it would round out the area really well. Once the camera starts working again, I'll take a snap of the area as well.

Most likely they would have thought it par for the course ;)

Very cool pics. I, like you, seem to have quite an ecclectic mix of items in my office. From some of my PEZ dispensers, to The Complete Far Side books, to my awards and certificates on the wall. People stop by my office and just shake their heads. Also, our Executive Director has been known to say that our training department is one of the most "unique" around.
