Janell said I had to post a picture of my new haircut, which was done in an attempt to rid myself of a slightly-developed mullet. I should always trust my instincts that if I am sitting in the stylist's chair and I'm only 50% convinced of the attractiveness of my haircut, when I get home I definitely won't be able to replicate said so-so look. So posting this picture actually relates to a rather common experience I have been having as of late. Gone are the days of piercing and tatoo consideration, so I figure my hair is the best method of self-expressing my evolution of appearance. Plus, I just get darn bord of the same thing. However, I am beginning to think this habit is backfiring. I fear that when at work and I greet people by name, perhaps they don't know it's me (by first glance). I also wear reading glasses now at the computer, which I suppose could serve as a very simplistic disguise. I've had a few lengthy conversations where their good-bye, however pleasant, didn't include my name. Could I be overreacting? Absolutely. But I must say that the safety of being identified when I'm sitting in my office with my name next to the door probably provides comfort to some.
