Haircut!

Today is Friday and it’s been a full week since I got my haircut.  I’m still on the fence over whether I like it or not.  I’ve received plenty of compliments the last few days but really what can people say?  “Hey your hair looks like crap”.  I’ve had short hair before, in college, after I returned from my honeymoon, when I got pregnant with Nate…but every time I cut it all off I always end up growing it right back out.  Maybe this goes back to my childhood when I had the “Dorothy Hamill” cut that was so popular after the she won the Olympic Gold medal for ice skating in 1976 (a year before I was born BTW).  Love prefers me with short hair even though when we started dating back in 1997 I had long blonde hair.  I have since gone back to my natural dark brown color because I think brown hair and blue eyes are nice together.  Plus it’s easier for me to color myself.  I have been asked to post a picture so here I am today in my office.

I wish my hair was down for this picture but you can see how short it is

This is my office...and yes, it is always that neat :) 

My office is where I spend majority of my week like most people.  At this particular job I have spent 14,486 hours over the last 7 ½ years.  I can’t believe it’s been that long already and I’m still here.  I work at a private hospital in the fundraising department and it is a very stressful job.  Mainly I do the financials for the department and track donations coming in but I also do a little bit of everything.  I help out with the events although that’s not what I like to do.  I would love to one day soon run a Development Office for a non-profit and be the boss.  After 11 years in the business I have the experience needed and I think I work well enough with people that I would be a good boss.  Non-profits see a lot of turnover with their employees and I have worked with 14 people who are no longer here.  That’s an average of 2 people a year quitting or being fired.  It’s not been an especially fun run per se, but it has been interesting and something keeps me around.   Right now the only thing keeping me around is my co-workers and I think that says a lot about the people I work with.

Happy Friday and I hope that you are all lucky enough to get a break this weekend like I will!
