Uniform

As a bus driver I have to wear a uniform daily. Navy blue pants, light blue shirt and black shoes. What I'm not required to wear is a tie. For my company it's considered an optional part of the uniform and for that reason none of the drivers wear one. I however like to diverge. Last week I started wearing a tie to work with my uniform. Many people asked me why. Even some of my passengers. I gave a different reason to each one of them. My better half however knew exactly why. I consider myself more than a uniform. Not that I think I'm better than my fellow coworkers, I have high respects and am very good friends with some of them. I just don't like to be seen as one of the crowd. I think we should all wear ties. That's the only part of the uniform that my company doesn't yet regulate. If they start, I'll have to think of something else. I can't wait to go home and take my uniform off. I might keep the tie, though.
