going going gone
so i finally grew a pair and chopped my hair off over the weekend. not with my own hands, obviously, but it's short just the same. i've been wanting to cut it for a while now with the dread of it clinging to the back of my neck through the nasty humidness that is summer here. fortunately for me, my hairdresser was out of town on her honeymoon and so i had some time to think about it (translate, try on virtual variations of shorter styles while pretending to be heavily concentrated on whatever i was not working on in anyway whatsoever). so i don't know, maybe she cut off four inches or something, i'm not good at math. it's about up to my chin which is a pretty big difference from it being way past my shoulders and i'm still getting used to it. like for example we went to see ironman this weekend and after the movie i was trying drink from the water fountain. i say trying because i must have looked like a retard trying to hold my imaginary long hair back from getting wet.
i feel like i have a new attitude too, not like i needed more of an excuse to be bitchy. i don't know, short hair makes me feel.....sassier than usual. like maybe i think i can get away with more? i don't know what i'm talking about really.
but so i come into work this morning and bossman jeff says "good morning" as i pass his office.....that's it. just "good morning."
then like, i don't know, TWO HOURS LATER when i go into his office to get my microsoft office 2003 cd to reload (because apparently my piece of shit computer decided to do some kind of bullshit automatic update and uninstall my 2003 version with the new and totally assbackwards 2007 version and being a writer and not a fucking computer scientist, i can't figure out how to use the new program) he says, "did you get a haircut?"
seriously? did i get a haircut?
"yeah, actually, i know it's subtle but i got a lot of them cut."
that's all. no, i don't know, "it looks great!" no, "ah, i really liked it better long."
the sassiness inside of me was saying, “yeah well I bet if my tits went down a size you’d notice you fucking insensitive shit of a human being.” but I told her to shut up and just walked back to my office because in this economy an insensitive boss is still better than no boss at all and I’ve got a vacation to be saving for.
