The greatest test yet

There is a big event approaching in the hatwatch world. Not only is the one month hattiversary in a few days, but this afternoon there is an R&D progress meeting. This meeting is for the research staff to present current results to a group of heads of departments and higher-ups in the company. And it’s not an event to which one would wear a hat. The delegates from PRL, Vietnam, Libya and Caucasia-NCA are all sheduled to speak for 20-30 minutes, and everyone is dressed to impress—dress shirts and clean slacks. The delegate from Vietnam is even wearing his pants right-side-out for the occasion (and the PRL delegate is wearing a skirt).

Will the hat stay on? I do have to admit, the gray tweed is fairly distinguished and does not detract from the Libyan delegate’s natty ensemble. Does he have the panache to stick with his haberdashery when department heads and executives start filing in? We shall see.

  1. And the verdict was YES, a hat indeed during the presentation. But alas today, no hat. I am sad, and feel very unsure of what I once thought I knew.
