Hi!
Sorry it's been awhile since my last post.
After 14 months of unemployment, I got a job in may 2010!!! I had to move 500km up north in Sweden. I work for the large Swedish bearing company SKF, at the foundry. Producing bearing houses all day. It's noisy, it's sweaty, it's dirty. It's a lot of fun!!!
Great work buddies. And actually a lot of longhairs for a heavy industry, maybe 10-15 percent of the workforce.
I didn't know what to write since last time but i have been lurking around here for awhile so.
Today is the one year anniversary of my hair growth.
Here's the story:
June 5th 2009. I had been unemployed for over 3 months. I was depressed and frustrated over the work-situation. I did something drastic. I thought "if I cut my hair maybe it would be easier for me to get a job..." I did cut it. As you can see on the left picture, I wasn't very happy about it.... And I didn't get a job either. I started to grow it out right after the cut.
I haven't even trimmed it since...
April 2010: For the interview at SKF I had my hair in a backslick with a small ponytail. It worked well. As you know, I did get the job =)
At work I wear a cap and gather the rest into a ponytail.
When I'm free I always wear my hair loose, I like the way my hair touches my shoulders now.
First goal now is to grow it out so all the hair can go into a ponytail.
Ultimate goal, we'll see. Maybe midback or "bra strap length", Hey what's that BSL length called on us guys anyway????
Thanks for a very supportive community!
I wish you all the best!

Your hair really suits you now - good luck with further growing.
Nipple length perhaps? Heh.
Congrats on the new job, glad to hear you're enjoying it.
The longer hair definitely suits you. So do the glasses for that matter. Best of luck on your continued growth.
As for what to call BSL on a guy... ummm... shoulder blade length??
Another Jim, aka Frodo.
I know this is an old thread, but with the longer hair, you remind me a little of Timo Kotipelto from the band Stratovarius!
