 No offense, but I've never seen shorts in a board room.

 If you are wearing a logo, you are an underling.
 That's appropriate sometimes, but at a show, like NAB, I'll always
 be wearing a sport coat at an absolute minimum, for dinner, but
 on the floor I'll have a tie, too.

 Yeah, I'm an independent project engineer.
 Usually, I'm dealing at a Senior VP level, or above.
 A UPS uniform is not appropriate in such circles, unless one wishes
 to telegraph that one is worth at best, the same as a UPS delivery man.

 In the field, in the mud, working, is another story, but I still insist
 on a white hard hat. ( not yellow, not blue, not red, white. )

 Yes, nearly everyone calls me Cowboy.
 If I happen to be wearing a hat,
 you can bet is a 6X Resistol, or better. 
 ( more likely Stetson, but they are part of Resistol )

 If at a remote is the first time someone meets you, do you wish to be
 perceived as an executive member of the team,
 or as a promotions intern.

 At home, I'm usually in beat up Levi's and a garage mechanic's work shirt,
 but if I know you're coming, I'll at least find a decent golf shirt.

 This particular automated sig line seems apropo.........
