Portions of my hair are very purple (this week....), and the haircut style is definitly not a common one. Yet I work in a very conventional corporate office managing a team of hardware engineers. (if you don't know engineering culture, HW engineers are not ever freaks the way software engineers sometimes are...:-) Its quite a discontinuity, really, and I think it throws people off in both directions. (which is great fun.) But it amazes me how little my appearance seems to matter. I notice when I'm in meetings with other professional types, my hair might catch their attention for a moment, and then it's like they completely filter it out and don't notice anymore once the meeting is going. It certainly didn't affect my career in any way. In fact, some of my boring coworkers seem to live vicariously through me wishing they had the guts to dye their hair funny colors too. I haven't talked any of them into it yet though. :-) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
