My uniform

I was pulling through McDonald's drive through yesterday. I just had to have some of those salty french fries for a dollar. As the gentleman took my change he commented on my outfit, specifically my choice of legwear, "How can you wear stockings (pantyhose) on a hot day like today?" I responded that the professional environment I worked in required a high calibar of dress, including the dreaded pantyhose. Although they aren't the most comfortable, especially considering the current Nebraska heat, they are required, and I'm ok with that.

It brought to mind all the summers I spent in jeans and boots. They are equally uncomfortable wear in the 90+ heat, but again they were required. Afterall, the safety of my toes and legs was more important than being as cool as possible. My jeans and boots were worn comfy favorites, but still could be stifling especially during the week of the National Jr. Angus Show. This summer I'm enjoying the chance to wear shorts and flip-flops (after work), but still break out the jeans and boots when I'm at home, and there is work to be done.

I pulled away from the McD's and laughed to myself, when work needs done whether in town or on the farm, it's important to have the right uniform.
