Ok, many of you know from posts a few weeks ago that I just started a new job in a management role.
At the time of my hire, I was about 1/2 an inch short of getting all of my hair into a pony tail. Asking about it with my manager, I got a story about one of his best friends who's wife had asked him to grow his hair out like it was when she met him. I got the green light to keep my hair. In another week, it will all be gathered up in a hair band.
A couple of the guys in my group have large gauge piercings in their ears. One even has 1" plugs. I figured I was 'good to go' on standard piercing earrings.. I put in two 'invisible closure' hoops in my left and a stud in the right. (A wonderful custom made one my wife had made for me. White gold disk with the birth stones of my 3 kids in it. It is my favorite earring, even more than the real 'ffin diamonds with flaws she got me)
My boss said stuff about 'client facing' and 'conservative'. Non-flashy, 'boring' earrings were over the line. Pony tail? Not so much.
I will honor the limit, no problem. It is just... odd.
That also tells me nail polish is not an option. Which is 'fine'. (minor grumble) My toes are still pretty.
