[BC] Look Professional and Be Professional

[Bill Brister]

I have tried both ways and in my experience it has been a no win situation.
The statement below is absolutely true about digging ditches or unplugging
stopped up toilets.

I tried coming in to work in nice Dockers and a pressed sport shirt and the
reaction was "who does he think he is, dressing up like that for only being
an engineer". Does he think he is an "executive engineer"? We'll have to fix
that real quick and put him back in his place. Then go about the task of
thinking up the most menial jobs there are and asking me to do them. And
then have a good laugh over what they made me do.

Not all places are like that but I have been at more of them than I would
have liked.
