If I wore a collar it'd be blue. Only a dark red neck for me.

It's interesting to me, how people can be sorta both.

[–] • 3 pts

I've never thought of that. I've wore ties and slacks to work in the past. Now I wear whatever holds up to the environment.

You're probably pretty unique, like most the people here I would think.

If you've spent most of your time in a cleanroom, you're anti-static-collar.

If I had to pick I'd say I'm a dark blue polo kinda guy. Sure I have a desk job, and most of the time I do paperwork and project management but when it comes time I get my hands dirty. Hell most days I come home from work, pull the polo off and go back outside to work on fixing my house.

I can relate, it's far harder to pigeonhole people than you might think.

Working class / Blue collar

[–] • 2 pts

My mom's side are hillbilly types from eastern KY, blue collar types. Grandpa on that side was a heavy machine operator and woodworker. He bought 100 acres of land in the mid 80s and built a 2 story log cabin along with his brother and cousin on this land. My grandmother kept a journal, describing what was going on month to month with the construction. Totally mindblowing reading about these men working on this thing. My fondest memory as a child was helping those "mountain men" mix the cement to put between the logs. These men felt like fucking super heroes to me.

That's fantastic, all of it.

It became a place where the men in the family would go for different hunting seasons. You drive on a dirt road a couple miles off the main road just to reach the cabin. A truly magical place. My grandpa passed earlier this year. He left such a great part of him here.

You were really lucky, very few children have an experience like that (as I mentioned, my Grandpa was a drunk and my dad was never around, hardly knew him he worked so much, and didn't care much for me). Congrats.

I'm whichever collar makes the most money atm.

So you've done both? I certainly have.

Well I do always wear a collared shirt, but it’s never white. I’m about at white collar tasks but blue collar duties. My hands are plenty calloused, but I’m thinking about, Hell at this point, $100m of assets across 5 continents. I’m not entirely responsible for all, but if anything comes from Headquarters as a repair/ retrofit/ replacement it’s my gig.

Wow, nice..

It’s cool. I have a job that I love, which is a true luxury.

[–] • 1 pt

Absolutely.

Carry myself like a blue-collar man as I come from a long line of 'em, but job could be considered white collar.

That stuff is interesting to me. Maybe I'm an anthropologist. Or not.

Same. I’ve explained it before as being Jack from the titanic. I could be on the lowest deck with rags on dancing away, or the highest with champagne and caviar.

Yeah! Crazy..

what?

Lol I was saying something was crazy, wasn't calling you.

Outlaw biker/carny/black-marketeer/merc. Don't think any of that fits either spot. Late in life I was a herbalist, then seed broker...maybe white collar?

Neat, it seems there's so many unique people like that here on Poal. Interesting people for sure.
