My hardhat from my stint at a mill now sits on the top shelf in my bedroom. I've actually had reason to use it. When Kim and Thomas took down a tree in my yard, I made Kim wear it. He was the one in the path of the tree's fall.

ment.

I only ever wanted three things back in the corporate world. One was a patent. Check (and newly discovered). One was a hardhat. Check.
The last was a title - Vice President. Nope. I think my Guardian Angel was protecting me from that fate.
This is the standard uniform of the corporate world of the 80's and 90's. Every once in a while I'd wear jeans to work,until business casual came in. Then I lost interest.
