Hairball!

Today at work I got a new badge as they are supposed to be using a new access system sometime in the future. It was mailed to me by security and once I opened it the GOA that delivered it to me was completely in shock at the picture that was on there.

I used the picture that has been on my old badge, one that I had taken when I first started working for the company almost 8 years ago. Just about everyone in that call center knows me with long hair but the picture shows me with a fairly short hairdo.

One of the reasons that I like to let my hair grow out is that I work for a company that it doesn’t matter if my hair is short or not and I have always wanted to be a rock star and when I was growing up the only guys that were rock stars had really long hair. Another reason is that most have told me that I have gorgeous hair and I can let it grow out and then donate it to Locks Of Love (who make free wigs for cancer patients that go through chemo, mostly for kids). It is a worthwhile cause in my books.

It is usually at about this point that I decide that I want to cut my hair. It is about half way down my back now and this is usually about the time that it really starts becoming hard to handle. The end of the hair will start to rat up and become painful to straighten out. The only problem is that right now it is starting to get colder. Usually the cold doesn’t affect me much but I keep having this image of myself with steam pouring off the top of my head as I stand there shivering.

I am still debating on it, to cut or not to cut. I think I might hold on to it until Marc h when the temperatures start to come up and stabilize a little bit more.

Work goes well. I finally got my laptop in and was actually able to connect to the network from my home so eventually I will be working more from home. It could come in really handy if the roads get slick and nasty.

My mother in law is waiting on a house that her boss is having worked on. She is going to rent it from him. She was telling me this evening that she might be gone in a couple of weeks. I will be thankful when that happens. She moved in here a little after Thanksgiving of 07 and she has come a long way in that time. She got a job and even got promoted at that job. It was kind of nice having her here when she first got moved in but like most things her welcome is really starting to wear itself out. Karma said that there have been several times that her mom has treated her like a child and I think she ready to get some distance between her and her mom. She will still be living in the area so I am sure that we will see her and visits will be made but the great thing about when you visit someone is that once you are tired you can just leave.

Well, gotta get some sleep. Got a call to be on tomorrow morning and I don’t feel that I got enough sleep last night.

Later peeps….
