You are so right.  When I started at my present situation, I came in khakis 
and a nice dress shirt.  People were shocked.  It is amazing how much more 
respect you get when you dress professionally!  Don't get me wrong, I do 
have my days when I show up in old jeans and a t shirt, but I am usually up 
to my armpits in a transmitter or heading out to the hinterlands for one of 
our remote transmitters.
