since i am (or was) job hunting, i was concerned about having to cut my hair. my employment history has been in the office field. i am now going to be a substitute support staff aide for a local school district. i have volunteer experience and would prefer the schools to an office. i had my photo taken for the i.d. badge. i had my hair down and over the ears, the way i prefer to wear it. not a word was said. so not only can i wear my hair long in the schools, i obviously plan to grow it longer, my aim all along. at least to my nipples to start, i am 5 inches away.
