Dressed like they just walked in off the street for a good position (not factory type where that was cool by me!). I am old fashioned and only 42, but I feel that most younger people don't really care what they look like and expect to get a job just because they need a job. I have been growing a beard for the cold commutes and there are 2 p/t jobs I would love to ask - see ASK - about at the Gym and LRS but until I shave I would not even dare go in there - because I don't look good (Only on me - I don't care about facial hair on others but mine is just ugly Yup, I agree, too. I have no real issue with tatts and piercings but it's all about professionalism. You have to look the part to some degree for serious consideration for many jobs. Like it or not, it's just the way it is. Oh, and Bill... at the gym where I work we have very strict dress codes for employees and there are specific policies on facial hair and piercings! Yep, same here. Of course, I do work at the Y, so they really frown upon piercings and tattoos. Not so much facial hair because our branch's executive director sports a full beard (yuck!) |
) and need to shave before even asking about them - not an interview or even filling out an application.| 2008-10-23 6:48 PM in reply to: #1748593 |

That will help you wake-up!!! What's for food for lunch? I'm hungry!!! I hope so... I just got off a 10 minute phon call and Im not sure I made any sense at all!!! Lunch? No idea... for the first day this week Im buying it... pretty happy Ive been soooo good with my nutrition since the race... but Ive still lost NO weight... sigh... 4 months and no results... But... if I go for a walk I can go up the road where there are other food options so that will be exciting! |

Elite 4148 Utah | Subject: RE: Nibbs XXVI Oh, here's a new one... maybe those with facial hair can explain... Pool Manager caught guy in the sauna shaving... why shave in the sauna... why do we even need to have signs up that ask you to not shave int he sauna (which we do)... I do get how gross it must be to have little hairs all over the sauna bench... UGH!!!!! |

Plus I NEVEr take lunch breaks nad NEVER get outside during the day... I think this will make me feel like a naughty school child! Besides.. im just feeling exhausted and cant concentrate on ANYTHING at the moment... so why not do something good for me instead of just surfing the net and struggling to get anything done when on Monday I will prbably be able to focus... Id like to be 'human' when I see my friend later... |
