Friday is Wear Your Helmet to Work Day

Yeah, same difference.

No cameras at work =(

I might have to ride my motorcycle to work Friday just to have the excuse to do this... It would be funnier if it was a day I needed to wear a suit to work.

I wear my helmet at work all the time.

Woody, thanks for your service. (I spent my first enlistment as Crash Fire Rescue, so I have an inkling what you guys go through! Thanks.)

So my real helmet is an ocean away and I can't take pictures where I work... how about a non-car helmet while on liberty? LOL

so how do they control that ?

the plant were I worked made a big deal out of the "no cameras at work" thing about 15 yrs ago … in the meeting I attended (multiple meetings to disseminate info) someone pointed out that all the company provided phones that the eng. and sup. were carrying all had camera capability, and that most folk that had cell phones with them also had pic. taking capability … the meeting got very quite …(keep in mind that this was before EVERYONE had a phone that could take pic …

we never heard another word about it

Ok....I'll do it tomorrow as well.

Do pics posted to this thread count?

Yes, we'll be watching here and Facebook.

Should I do a hash-tag thingy to make it easy? #WearYourHelmetToWorkDay

BTW, I think the STL community of police officers and agents are in the lead.

You mean an actual helmet right? I hope this isn't a euphemism for something else that I don't understand.

In reply to pinchvalve:

Thanks for asking, I was about to do it wrong.

Blanket ban on all personal electronic devices, radio frequency emitters, etc... then again I don't have a normal job.

This should go over well with customers and management(Lowe's).

Epic!

Automatic win if he's in a firesuit too...

I hope someone looks like the stig staring at the computer wondering how to work it when there's no steering wheel.

Sadly I just saw this and I'm already at work for my Friday (3rd shift)

I forgot my helmet. That s ok. I'll work at the store at 4. I'll wear it there.

Got a few strange looks, so I fired them.

That's gonna make things exceedingly weird as Wally is a bus driver....that being said I got money on this if the firesuit is added. Because why not.

EDIT- I realized later you probably meant racing firesuit, not fireman firesuit. Fireman firesuit is what I imagined for some reason.

Not quite ATGATT in the office. Its risky sitting in the office chair with it's creaky springs, but I'll take my chances without the jacket. Gloves are on. See GRM FB for proof.

Forgot my helmet

DAMMIT. I meant to bring mine to work and left it in the garage.

You'll get better throughout the day- this is a terrible shot due to the front camera on my phone..... but this is my co-pilot for the day- also known as my 3 year old.

Here's me hard at work- I am an emergency on call overnight- so I sleep next to a phone and answer it in case things go wrong. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-08/IMG_20140822_091112_zps627ne4j1.jpg.html][/URL]

One of the rare breaks I get at work, taking a few minutes to myself for a much needed breather and a round of blow crap up on the Xbox. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-08/IMG_20140822_091429_zpsboolbh0u.jpg.html][/URL]

Brotha gotta smell nice for the ladies, right? (Yes, it is a Cars shower curtain. Don't hate.)[URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mndsm/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-08/IMG_20140822_091614_zpsxkxiob7j.jpg.html][/URL]

Its hard to use the phone with this thing on....
