My presentation is all over the map, I think I'd go with "nonconformist" (I came to work in a 16th century kirtle once; because it's too heavy to carry in a bag and I needed it later)... but I am the only IT support for a small group of scientists and they all know who I am and what I'm meant to be doing; no-one has ever asked me to do admin tasks (they're usually even sorry when they ask me to fix the printer, and that's actually part of my job), or provide emotional support (huh, I'd be rubbish at that!).

Corporate culture baffles me, the idea that I might be *better at programming computers* if I dressed in a different way (no, I'd be irritated and possibly in pain and sleep deprived and thus worse at thinking clearly) or styled my hair in a certain way (it's long, I put it 'up' most days, to keep it out of my way... it's also blue/green) is just nonsensical to me. Lucky me having a job that sidesteps all of that.
