Mood: mischievious
I am not an observant person. I mean I notice the big stuff...like if I came into work one day and the dam was gone...I am pretty sure I would notice that. The little things however,are more of a challenge for me. Minor haircuts, new uniform, new boots, etc. So do I have a right to be offended?
Friday night I sat in my apartment with Tanya and her cousin Robin who was visiting from TN. We had polished off two bottles of wine when I box of hair dye emerged from Tanya's purse. On Halloween I put red streaks in my hair and for some reason people loved it. Tanya and Robin were determined to dye my hair and I was to drunk to refuse. My hair is now RED!!! Sort of like Gene Gray's hair in the X-men movie but maybe just a tad darker. Don't worry you all it is only temporary. It is one of those brands that washes out in a month. With my commitment phobia I couldn't do a permanent color for fear I would be stuck with it. But anyway...I digress.
I went into the pub Saturday night and everyone noticed I had colored my hair. How could you not...it is RED. Most of these people have only met me once so I was surprised that they noticed. And the majority of the ones who noticed were men. Also a big shocker to me.
I get into work this morning and no one says a word to me about my hair. My boss comes in however and they all comment on the fact that he has gotten 1/16th on an inch cut off his hair and how nice it looks. Still No one notices that I dyed my hair red. Come on people...it is bright freakin' red!!! Pretty hard to miss. My boss keeps looking at me like he knows I have done something different but I think is too embarrassed to ask what because he knows he should be more observant. LOL I guess that is what I get for working in an office with mostly men.
I have worked with these guys for almost 3 years now and they didn't notice the red hair. I work at the pub for two nights and they all notice. So what does that say? Have the people that I work with become complacent? Does the pub crowd care about me more? It is a quandary.
I am off to WV tomorrow and I don't know if I will have a chance to post while I am there. So if not...
Have a great Thanksgiving and if you are traveling...stay safe.
