I try to find shirts with really long tails. I find it alarming when clients sneak up behind me when I don't.
Mostly though I can't wear shirts at work. I'm from Alaska, and if it's much over 60 degrees and I'm working, I'm drenched with sweat. I try to ignore it when the clients just hang out where I'm working and stare.
It's not like I have moobs or anything. Is it just me, or is sexual harassment a constant fact of construction work?
I never thought of sexual harassment as one of the perks of construction work. The things we have to do to make a living. Maybe you can use that as a reason to raise your prices lol
Unless it coming from your male co workers..... then that is not even funny
There are some odd people out there. I worked for Jim Frank Construction in 99, on the HGTV house in Nehalem Point, OR as a finish carpenter. He ran himself over with a truck.
He could stand on the ground floor and look at a span on the second story ceiling and call it within 1/32".
Didn't protect him from his truck, though.
Edit: I forgot momentarily what made me think of him. The TV crew from New York was infested with guys that fawned on the guys making stuff. I recall they were very intent on getting us on film, and eventually Jim relented, much against our demands
So, everytime they set up a camera where we were working, our belts slipped loose a notch or two, and we cussed loud and constantly. It didn't stop the landscape architect from leering at us, but we stayed out of the TV program =p.
I did get him off my back eventually. He was discussing varmint-proofing the landscaping with some producer (a herd of Elk frequented to site) when I was trimming out the greehouse.
So I piped up 'I think you should plant things that will attract the Elk. I'd love to sit up on that balcony with a glass of wine and watch those majestic creatures eat me out of house and home.'
They looked very thoughtful. Then I said 'and I'd mount a harpoon gun on the railing, with an electric winch, so I could spear 'em and then hang 'em for skinning without having to even get up.'
This is the best comment I have ever read on steemit! You have had some exceptional experiences. I was never so lucky to work on a tv project. I worked on a few 20k sq foot places but I was nobody on those jobsites. Only the lady from China that was responsible for the feng shui was important. I worked on the mansion of a radio DJ Robert Kingsley in Texas they were only worried about us smoking inside or on the grass outside. We had to smoke in our trucks. And smoke we did! T
I remember visiting this site years ago. This is a similar site, though less exhaustive. These guys have worked so hard to provide this info. Like Steemit: So much work, so little reward.
Nooooo, not my socks! Not my warm fuzzy socks! I need them.
Its cold... so cold...
Sock Garters Get a pair of these puppies and you too can visit Cryptom.org safely!
Looks like if you put a pair on the back, then your shirt would stay tucked in as well.
Have you tried this sock suspender? lol
I have not worn a "stuffed" shirt in about 15 years.
Don't plan to change that!

He never bothered me again =p

Thank you for this information, sir!
I'll go have a gander..
Oh no, another list of reading materials!
I have quite a bunch bookmarked now and the list keeps on growing...
LOL
I have given up on reading everything on my list. Even if I could read with each eye separately and simultaneously I couldn't keep up.
