Do we have a "Hats at Work" thread? Show us your hat while at work. I don't mean to take time out of your work day and post pics (even though some of us do), but to take some shots at work and post them to show your "Hats at Work". Tell us a brief description of what you do. Feel free to post old shots and previous photos that have already been posted elsewhere throughout the forum.

I work at a company called, Georgia Home Theater. Our home page is listed in my signature. We specialize in custom home theaters, media rooms, high-end stereo, home automation, lighting control, window shading, and security. I've been fortunate to work at a "hat friendly" office. :) I'm in sales, so I make a personal visit to each of my projects to close it up and fine tune everything. Many of my customers make comments about my hats. Others don't say a word, but I know they're trying to peg me down.

Here's a recent project of mine with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio screen. If you like old movies and you've seen the term, CinemaScope, then you're familiar with wider aspect ratios. For instance, most flat screen TV's display a 16x9, or 1.78:1, ratio. If you're watching a big budget movie you will likely see those pesky letterbox bars on the top and bottom. A 2.35:1 screen will eliminate these bars, preserving the original native aspect ratio the directors wanted you to see. The following screen is 59" H x 138" W...

"Work."
Not my day job, but occasional late nights/weekends.

I normally wear an Akubra Stylemaster at work, but since it's been raining, I have switched to my Banjo Patterson. Here I am at my control panel in my water treatment plant:

Most of my friends have asked me if I wear my hat to work. They always seem shocked when I tell them that I practically wear it to bed! So, I figured "@ work" shots would be pretty cool, and yet another excuse to wear some awesome hats!!

I wear a hat to work daily, but as I work in an office, I always remove it once I arrive.
As do I.... after 2 years of working here and wearing hats daily, I don't get any strange looks, but I still get the compliments. Especially when I've got a full suit going too, which is usually only once or twice a week... only our execs wear suits daily, but I've noticed that my department director seems rather impressed with me when I do.

An inexpensive newish 8 panel wool worn at a new club in town. Although not a full-time endeavor, I'm fortunate to earn a good percentage of my income from music. Sure beats working. :cool:

Blackthorn, seeing you in so many exotic locales over the years, I must have assumed you were a wealthy mogul of some sort! Reassuring to know you come about it honestly. :)

Water treatment for urban areas has to be as complex as the multiple monitors around you suggest. If I lived closer I'd make an appointment for a tour of the plant.
