Invisible

So you know from my  last  blog post  I just chopped all my hair off on Saturday. It was a pretty drastic cut; six whole  inches! I know I said five before, but I need to embellish a little for dramatic effect here. I expected everyone would notice as I went about my normal activities. No one at church on Sunday noticed. I sat in my bible study group with people I see  at least twice a week. I share some pretty serious personal stuff with them. Nobody said a word.

So this morning I go to work and I'm thinking everyone is going to say holy Crap Jen! You completely chopped all your hair off! Only my friend Jen at the front desk noticed (and right away!) I'm telling you this is a drastic cut. No one else blinked an eye. The guys I work alongside all day long, we share 45 hours of our week together. Not one word!  I don't think people even look at me. I felt completely invisible. I went up to various people during the day and initiated conversations to see if anyone would look up and notice, nada.

It wasn't really a swanky cut that I wanted to show off, it just seemed impossible to me that everyone wouldn't notice how different it looked. This is my before and after so you see I'm not overreacting. I work with these people all freaking week long, how is this not noticeable? Are they on drugs? I'm almost tempted to pierce my lips and dye my hair aqua just to see if I get a reaction. Maybe I'll show up next week wearing a gorilla suit.
