New job update :)
so i havent gotten to post for awhile... things have been crazy, plus ive been enjoying being a stay-at-home mom for awhile! lol... i started my new job yesterday & i absolutely LOVE it! my new boss is AWESOME... WAY better than that stupid BBBB! my new boss told me i can wear whatever i want on my head as long as im comfortable... thats the BEST! also, a lot of the people have come up and talked to me about them having cancer, or a loved one having cancer & losing their hair, so i feel a lot more accepted in this workplace. i really dont feel the stares like i did at the bank! I LOVE IT!!!! well... its wednesday night, so i gotta go shave my head again... im kinda making it a routine! lol. oh... btw... anyone tried that headblade sport? im thinking about ordering on online but wanted to check with all my bald-buddies first :)
oh, norm... mr jen (aka chad) says hi!
love you all!

Thanks for the update, Jennifer!!! It sounds like your new boss has a great attitude about your head.
I get the cancer questions a lot wherever I am, and it really doesn't bother me anymore. People are just concerned, and then relieved when you tell them you're healthy. I was just at an event with about 250 people who got used to having a bald woman in their midst pretty quickly.
Good luck, and enjoy your beautiful, cool head and new job!

Hiya Jen ! (or is that Mrs Chad?) Great to see you're so much happier in the new job! Say Hello back to Himself for me - ta!
I remember people asking me if I was ill. But then, they used to ask me that when I had hair, too... with hindsight, I think it was my mental health they were enquiring about.... :S Now they just avoid me, but it's great having space at the bar. ;)

Thanks for the update Jen. I'm so happy that you LOVE your new job - it's GREAT that they are accepting.
I don't really mind the cancer questions either - I think most people just assume and are concerned. If they do ask I get the opportunity to educate about alopecia. I just don't like the judgemental looks when I'm out enjoying a glass of wine, I might have to buy one of Mary's shirts Bald? So What!

Petra, you're getting confused - those aren't judgmental looks, they're lustful ones! They're trying to formulate a good opening line so they can chat up the sexy bald chick... (yep, even the wimmin!)
I'm thinking of getting a shirt that says, "Yep, Bald! Try Me!" What d'ya think I should charge? :)

Norm, they're probably lushing (oops lusting) over my glass of red wine.
What, for the shirt? :-)

Hey, you never mentioned the wine.... and OF COURSE, the shirt. Surely you don't think.... oh! I'm blushing!!! (not.) But I'll take a cheque (check?).... you'll take a rain check.... ;)

so today at work my head was itching so while i was in my office i took of my scarf for a minute. my boss came in with a question and she goes "well arent you just the cutest bald girl ever?!" lol... kinda flattered me! i guess its better to be a cute bald girl than an ugly one! haha.

that's so great and kudos to you for daring to be bald in the office! And it's so cool that your boss and work environment is so accepting.
