blue hair squicks the boss.

okay, granted, i'm still at the lovely "i dyed my hair last night, and my scalp is still stained, as are my fingertips" stage, but he's putting off a very confused vibe about it.

"so, you're leaving tomorrow?"
"no, next thursday. i'll be back in the following tuesday."
"you mean we have to put up with you with blue hair for a week?'
"yep."

so, either i'll be dying it black the day after getting back from convergence, or he'll mellow out and i'll keep it for a couple more weeks, but it'll be back to black for K's bro's wedding Memorial Day weekend.

this, friends and neighbors, is most probably the last hurrah after a decade of mostly-entertaining follicular amusement.

I wanna see the BLOOOOOO hair :)

i will try to take a non-inept self portrait at lunch. otherwise, you can suffer through a largely-identical shot of me from 2-3 years ago. :/

no dice on the self-portrait, i'm afraid.

::raises eyebrow:: Don't you have a web cam if I remember correctly?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

well, yes, but i figured my adoring public (all both of you *snerk*) would want something a little more quality than that.

so, it'll be dog-ass-ugly quickcam pix this evening, unless K wants to take a shot. we shall see.

YAY! Bloo bloo bloo!

That's why I won't be doing my hair until Wednesday night, if I decide to put some plum streaks in (I've done it before... ten years ago).

There's one thing to which I can look forward wrt grad school, no doubt: The freedom to have whatever color hair I want. See, there's a reason to go back -- no office dress codes. :D

we're having guests this weekend, and i didn't want to potentially waste time with doing it while they're here, and wanted to give myself a chance to de-blue the ol' scalpitude before departure. thus. . .

Makes sense. I probably have more time on weeknights than weekends, currently -- I have plans from Friday evening through Sunday evening, work or otherwise. Plus, the not freaking out the management is a big thing with me. I'm too argumentative with them as it is, so... no pushing it. ;P

Wow, blue Rafe! It's gotta have been a looooooooooooooonnnnngggg time since you had blue, right?

See you at THE BAR, babycakes!

*thinks* I don't think I did anything too fun during my DC tenure, which means that it was while I was still in Pennsyltucky, or shortly after leaving, so, yeah, almost two years.

Christ, when the fuck did I get old?

"Ronald McDonald's Idiot Nephew"

[at least, that's how I looked when I went red-red]

GG, however, pulls off a rather stunning "Run Lola Run" look with hers that hue.

Ya know, if I had only known then that no job I have ever held or possibly will ever hold since the hair product distribution gig would allow me to have any haircolor other than my slightly unnatural (gray covering) brunette, I so would have cashed in.

I kick myself daily as I realize that the store I managed held a lovely array of bleaches, dyes in all unnatural colors, all the products I would ever need to attain completely professional freakish color, and full permission to experiment with any stock we held (sales of blue and black nail enamels went through the roof during my tenure, so they *encouraged* me to play with some of the weirder stuff) and I squandered those years in maintaining a Jennifer Aniston haircut with blonde highlights. *sigh* I am truly ashamed.
