jdthomas 0 #1 May 26, 2006 Today I stopped by the uniform shop to get a new pair of EMS pants. I paid 76.00 dollars and some change for a pair of cargo pants! It's a tax write off as I have to have them for my work, but when I think that I had to "work" 7 hours to pay for the pants it kind of makes me feel like I got ripped off. Any one else have to buy stuff to do thier jobs or do your employers pay for your needs? Joewww.greenboxphotography.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GravityGirl 0 #3 May 26, 2006 My Mom was an RN and she used to go to a second hand uniform store. Or you can try eBay. Yup $75 bucks sucks. But skydivers pay $200 for a pair of pants! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
