FROG MAN Posted November 7, 2008 #1 Posted November 7, 2008 About two days a week I work in the office (engineering) so that makes me a white collar worker. Two days a week in the field service makes me a blue collar worker. Tomorrow I got a meeting about a wind generator project so I should wear green. A few of my clients are all women but I'm not wearing pink. Ramona just brought home some homeade blackberry wine and now I don't have a shirt on at all.:rotfl:
Yama Mama Posted November 7, 2008 #2 Posted November 7, 2008 Froggie that was funny. I guess I wear a red and sometimes black collar, because that is the school colors where I work. I wish I had some blackberry wine though. Yama Mama:big-grin-emoticon:
Venturous Randy Posted November 7, 2008 #3 Posted November 7, 2008 I work in an Engineering Lab and though we are all salary, it is more blue collar than anywhere I have ever worked. Most of my work has been white collar as I was a Quality Manager. RandyA
SilvrT Posted November 7, 2008 #4 Posted November 7, 2008 Since I'm in IT and work inside with servers and workstations and networks, etc... I guess I'm a white collar... however, I like to think I'm a red-necked White Collar!
Rocket Posted November 7, 2008 #5 Posted November 7, 2008 Ramona just brought home some homeade blackberry wine and now I don't have a shirt on at all.:rotfl: Expecting spillage, when drinking it, Froggy????????? Since I'm in IT and work inside with servers and workstations and networks, etc... I guess I'm a white collar... however, I like to think I'm a red-necked White Collar! I'm wherever needed, my shirt & jacket collars are a digital camouflage pattern (along with the rest of the uniform).......
Redneck Posted November 7, 2008 #6 Posted November 7, 2008 My collar begins the day blue and as the day goes by it turns black brown green red. I like it that way I just hope I don't loose my shirt.
Eck Posted November 7, 2008 #8 Posted November 7, 2008 my collar is black - cast iron - with a chain......
Yammer Dan Posted November 7, 2008 #9 Posted November 7, 2008 I guess I'm supposed to be White but it turns Blue in a hurry when things go wrong. Story about blackberry wine. 10 or 15 yrs ago I made 3 gallon. Came out really good. we drank one, I gave one to my brother and put the other one in the cellar. ( I still Have one)I thought it ought to be getting really good or could have gone bad... Son was in last year and I suggested we pull it out dust it off and try it. He looked a little embarrassed and said "Dad, Thats not wine thats grape kool-aid. We drank that wine years ago." We being him,sister and neighbor boy & girl. He said it was Good!!Now what kid would do anything like that??

I bet he knew in the back of his mind that his sneaky little trick would eventually be discovered... haha...kids huh? He probably feels a bit of a weight off his shoulders now that the truth is out in the open! too funny!
Freebird Posted November 7, 2008 #11 Posted November 7, 2008 I'm white collar now but was blue collar for many years. Worked as an industrial electrician for about 20 years. Guess I moved into the white collar world about 15 or 20 years ago. I actually miss the blue collar at times. In some ways, life seemed much simpler then.

Well, first of all, I do not claim to be a computer expert. I got interested in them though when I was still an electrician. During the end of my time with Texas Utilities Generating Company, a big part of my job was converting analog relay circuits to PLC controllers. I had to take some courses and learn ladder logic programming. That was the start of it all and then I just developed an interest in PCs and it hasn't stopped. It has always been nothing more than a hobby for me and everything I know about personal computers has come from not being afraid to break something. I have spent many long hours trying to fix something that I broke due to messing with things that I knew nothing about.

hale374 Posted November 7, 2008 #21 Posted November 7, 2008 What color is PEON? Steve:bowdown: Yellow
juggler Posted November 7, 2008 #22 Posted November 7, 2008 If my job required a collar I'd get a new job. I refuse to wear a collar as they tend to have leashes attached. :snow:
DragonRider Posted November 7, 2008 #23 Posted November 7, 2008 I work indoors and I wear t shirts , so I guess I'm a no collar worker................is that lower than a blue collar..........................:think:
86er Posted November 7, 2008 #24 Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) I guess, when I was driving a tour bus, I was blue collar (with epaulets). Now that I'm with FedEx, I guess it's.......................purple! Edited November 7, 2008 by 86er
