There's always uniforms... G


Personally, I
don't care what they are wearing...


Me either. The only reason I even know what my local folks wear is
because I took a tour. After the tour, they're still the same folks on
the other end of the radio, who I happen to hold in very high regard.

A local acquaintance of mine owns a successful catering biz that also
runs a high-rise contract cafeteria. He's a Julliard trained chef, and
has an additional master's degree. His work has won accolades from
magazines, the New York Times, and other critical works.

One morning, "Tim" was manning the cafeteria omelet station, as he was
short on help after a busy catering weekend. One of the suits from the
high-rise gave him a speech about how _he_ used to be a "grill guy"
until he went to night school at the local community college, and now
he's the _assistant manager_ of the customer service department of a
mortgage company.

I also know of a very esteemed, jeans and flannel wearing woodworker,
who runs a one-man furniture shop, who happens to posses a Masters of
Economics from Princeton University. G

It's not the appearance, it's what you _do_ that counts!
