Mahatma Gandhi is perhaps the most famous for going on a starvation protest or hunger strike. Many before and after him have tried this method to draw attention to their complaints and grievances. Sadly, during the Vietnam war many monks set themselves on fire. Folks have chained themselves to trees, laid down in front of trucks transporting toxic materials....well, you get the idea and the list goes on. Anyway, as I best remember, somewhat spontaneously and for no known reason...most likely out of my ongoing frustration, I fired off a note to my boss with copies to the other bosses, saying that until old Mid-Mountain CSB treated me fairly, equitably, and reasonably I wasn't going to get a haircut. Yes, I work directly for boss number three and indirectly for bosses numbers one and two; boss number three works directly for boss number two and indirectly for boss number one; boss number two works directly for boss number one; and, hey….not sure who boss number one answers to…no telling. Hmmm. By the way, as usual I never heard from any of them… Bosses number two and three have both seen my new hair but neither have commented. Oh, well. (Hey, you guys, still love you.)What a way to protest, hey? At my age not sure what other folks think, if anything. If they have an opinion, I guess they're saying, What a sad commentary, an old whack job trying to look cool.
Well, I guess it's been three or four months...and no haircut yet....and of course still not being treated fairly, equitably, or reasonably....sooooo, I guess the old no-haircut protest will continue. Hey, here's how I look. Yes, it's getting pretty long. Look carefully and you'll see that I'm also going bald. Hey, will old Mid-Mountain give before the baldness wins? Stay tuned..... BTW, if you click on the snap it gets big and you can better see the bald spot.....
