More comments.  As I said before, the "research" was done 13 years ago, =
and I haven't had the urge to do it again since.  My own business is =
secure -- people don't seem to care what I wear as long as I don't =
embarrass them.  I couldn't resist putting the question of appearance to =
the list from a woman's point of view on behalf of all of the women =
technicians out there who may be looking for ideas.

  Oh Z!, Oh dear Z!, I have been waiting several years now to pass on =
the following wisdom:

  "A female should wear a skirt and blouse, or slacks. Do not try ot out =
dress the teachers, and some dress pretty casual. But you want to look =
like a professional, not like a janitor. ......They always wear skirt =
suits.=20

  >>Any man who insists that women look the most "professional" in =
skirted suits ought to try wearing panty-hose every day for a month.<<

  And they carry coveralls in their car. When they need to do pedals, or =
repairs that involve crawling around, they excuse themselves to the rest =
toom to put on their cover-alls. When they are done with this portion of =
the work they redress in their skirt."

  >>Do they get to charge the customer for the extra time necessary for =
changing ... and then changing back?<<

  :-)   Just could not pass up the opportunity.

  >>Don't blame you -- enjoyed the quote.<<

    Any sage advice for the women technicians?

    + + +

    About 13 years ago, I did a little impromptu "research" on this very =
subject.  I called a number of the clothing catalogue companies and =
asked whoever answered the phone to imagine that they had made an =
appointment with a woman piano technician to come and work on their =
pianos.  What did they envision her as wearing when she came to the =
door?
