Today, one of my bosses said, "You're going to take this as an insult, but it's not. At a certain age, women are supposed to cut their hair short." I have long hair. My bosses have all of the social skills of the guys from Big Bang Theory. FML

I talk to customers on the phone. People wear shorts and printed t-shirts to work. Several people walk around without shoes - including one of the owners. I, on the other hand, tend to dress up a bit. Image isn't the issue. This is the same place where, over 20 years ago, I decided to wear a skirt one day and one of the owners commented "she does have legs!"

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

You've put up with these people for over 20 years?! You have the patience of a saint. You must be awesome at customer service...

Forget them... I have hair that's thick & healthy & stops 4 inches from the back of my knee. They'd have to shave it off of my cold, dead head before I quit for some ridiculous social stereotype.

Used to be Pentecostal. Used to have hair past my knees (I'm 5'3"). Used to not give a **** what society said - made my own life and looked good doing it. Now my hair is barely past my shoulders and I look like everyone else. I thought I'd be one of those old ladies with freakishly long hair.

that's insulting to the guys of the bbt. they'd at least appologize when you bring it to their attention it's not socially acceptable to point things like that out.
