WELL, IT HAPPENED AGAIN... I MADE A FRIEND AT A NEW TEMPORARY JOB I JUST STARTED. I REALLY THINK SHE IS A NICE PERSON AND DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD, BUT SHE DID! TODAY SHE MADE A COMMENT THAT I HAVE PROBABLY NEVER CUT MY HAIR (CURRENTLY IT IS WAIST LENGTH). WHAT CAME TO FOLLOW WAS NOT A COMPLIMENT. I AM 33 AND SHE IS AS WELL. SHE SAID I SHOULD CUT MY HAIR TO SHOULDER LENGTH TO GIVE IT "A STYLE". ALSO, SHE INFORMED ME THAT AS A WOMAN GETS OLDER SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE LONG HAIR BECAUSE IT MAKES HER LOOK"HAGGARD AND DOES NOTHING FOR HER APPEARANCE". WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY I CLAMMED UP FOR QUITE A WHILE AFTER THAT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT CAME OUT OF HER MOUTH. IT REALLY DESTROYED MY MOOD. EVEN IF SHE WAS THINKING SUCH A RIDICULOUS THING I DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SO IGNORANT AS TO SAY IT OUT LOUD. I KNOW IT SHOULDN'T MAKE ME FEEL BAD BECAUSE I KNOW BETTER AS YOU ALL DO OR MOST OF YOU, BUT AS THEY SAY I AM ONLY HUMAN. LESLIE
