i change my hair a lot
I change my hair a lot. For most of 2023 and 2024, it was long and blonde. Then I dyed it bright red. Then I hacked it off with some kitchen scissors and it was a dark brown bob. Then I buzzed it. Currently it's back to being a shorter, dark brown (almost-)bob. When people don't recognize me at events, I say things like, "oh haha I change my hair a lot." But the truth is, I know that I should be memorable to people worth knowing and spending time around. The truth is that I say, "oh haha I change my hair a lot" so that they can save face. I learned how to let people "save face" when I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch and we were trained on how to handle "shrink," which is the corporate term for shoplifting. Today, I don't care about shoplifting at Abercrombie & Fitch but I care about people remembering MY face. Last night, I saved MY face by saying, "we've met many times before."
