" umm... yea.... I don't know"

Have you ever worked with someone that literally complains about everything? Like everything. For instance, I have been at work this morning for 45 minutes and she has already complained about another one of our coworkers going to breakfast and announcing it to the office. “She just goes to breakfast and tells everyone about it. What’s that about”? I don’t know, I’m going out on a limb here but I think she just wants to eat breakfast. And maybe she was just announcing it to see if anyone else wanted to go with her. Then, just now, this same girl complained that the only reason why the chick from Customer Service has a Canadian flag as her background to her email is because St. Patrick’s Day is coming and she doesn’t like it. So I have to agree, I do hate when people use obnoxious backgrounds in their email, because I can’t f’ing read the email, but seriously, I don’t think she is trying to stick it to the Irish. Some people are just not happy unless they have something to complain about.

"Did you do something to your hair?"

Have you ever run into someone who you haven't seen in a long time and they changed their hair color and your first thoughts are, " Wow, what the hell were they thinking with that hair color". Don't judge me, you know you have been there and thought that. Well, that very occurrence happened to me today, except I actually didn't talk to the person. I was at a hockey game today, and as I was making my way through the cattle of people along the concourse, I caught a familiar face. Thankfully, that face didn't catch my glance, since it was probably written all over my face - "what the hell did you do to your hair". Now the crazy part here is - it was a man who had dramatically changed his hair color. More often then not, it is a woman who changes there hair color, and I'm one of those women, although, my hair color is only a shade lighter then my natural color, but that's not the thought here. This man, who is in his late 50's, had a full head of gray hair. I'm not talking salt and pepper, or even a dark gray, nope full head of bright gray hair. So when I saw this familiar face with bright auburn colored hair I nearly stopped dead in my tracks, and I probably would have if I wasn't caught up in the stampede of people making their way to their seats. What would pose a man to do this? Does he actually think this is a good look for him? As I was contemplating these questions I came up with two possible answers to this dramatic change in appearance. One, his wife made him do it. Let's face it, women are very persuasive, especially when it comes to a man's appearance. Most guys don't know how to coordinate patterns, so if the person they are in love with makes a suggestion that dying his hair will make him look 10 years younger, he will be with her in the drugstore picking out the color. The other possible option why he might have decide to color his hair: He recently saw an old picture of himself and thinks that all he has to do is dye his hair, and he will look exactly the same as he did 20 years ago. This phenomenon is usually referred to as a mid life crisis; it takes on many forms, but hair color change is definitely a sign of it. Even if either of these reasons is not the reason for his change, I couldn't help chuckle to myself with the thought that he looked like a total jack#$%. Does he actually think that if he meets someone, whom he has never met before they are going to think that his hair color is natural? NO! They are going to laugh behind his back, and make fun of him to all their friends. I'm sure at this very moment, someone who sat behind him at the hockey game is telling their coworkers about this old guy with bright red hair they sat behind at the hockey game the other night, and having a really good laugh about it, which is probably opening up a discussion about the other things old people do during a mid life crisis.
