First day back to work
« on: April 30, 2007, 04:39:06 PM »
Today was first day back to work after going sly just over 2 weeks ago. Gave myself a little extra time and got a nice HeadBlade shave in the shower this morning. (I am really loving the headblade ) As others have remarked, it has really been mostly a non event. Several "looks good" "you look younger" "very trendy", otherwise not much said.
For those of you sitting on the fence because of what they will say at work...I say, go for it.  Most people don't really care about shaved heads anymore.

Glad to hear that it was a smooth (pun intended) transition at work.  It really is amazing that going sly in the workplace is so common now that guys don't get much of a reaction these days.  This is yet another example of why those sitting on the fence need to get over the angst about negative reaction at the workplace.  There just isn't much of a reaction.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

That's great to hear Mike!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Mike,
Everyone's a bit apprehensive the first day back to the job.
But like you said it's usually all "thumbs up" and basically a "non-event".

Cool Mike.  Hope you weren't disappointed by the small reaction.   :(

Great news Mike.  I know that can be a big event in our minds to get through.  Today should be that day I see my boss for the first time.  All reactions have been positive so far. O0

Mike, the same thing happened to me.  Today was my first full day back in the office, as I have spent most of the last week working out of the office.  The reponses were very positive and the response I was most nervous about were from the partners in the accounting firm that I work for.  These were positive also.  All that worrying for nothing.  Go figure...

Buy the way, I also got a headrub.  But it was by surprise.  A lady in my office caught me from behind when I wasn't looking.  I must say that I did enjoy it. O:O

Good deal Mike but don't let your guard down... there's some ladies out there that'll attack when you least expect it!  They've been know to actually rub and smooch your noggin'!   :*))
