i just can't give'em no satisfaction. my co-worker walked in today with flaming red hair. she is a new hire and i guess with job in hand she's ready to let her personality be expressed via a bottle of hair ink. as far as i know, nobody has commented on it at all. i wonder if we are all just studiously ignoring her hair and saying nothing about it. i know i am. it's kind of mean in a way. i mean, don't people dye their hair for a reason? to make this dramatic change? to get noticed? sure the hair dye is probably mostly for them and they like it but i'm sure some of change is for the inquiries that it'll bring. usually i like to stay on top of things like this, keeping a sharp eye out for new shoes, haircuts, purses, clothing, jewelry. i'm just naturally attuned to these things, call it a gift.



but sometimes you just have to ignore it. like how flaming red hair is such a dramatic change that you don't even need to comment on it. like if i walked in with implants, what is there really to say? short of "hum, nice jugs". but i think part of the issue i have with the whole thing is how much pleasure it would bring to someone if i did mention how different they looked. if i feel like they are doing it just to get some attention, i would ignore the change completely. but if i feel like they did it just to do it and mostly for them, i'd be sure to comment and ask away. of course this really just goes back to how much attention a certain person is hoping to buy with their "new" thing, once i figure that out through assumptions and judgement calls on their character, i like to go ahead and do the opposite of whatever it is that they're are looking for. it's my way of sticking it to the man.
