Let's discuss a topic that many women choose not to acknowledge publicly...one that may not affect all, but does affect way more than it should in my opinion.
CHIN HAIR, LIP HAIR, FACE HAIR, Hair in general where it just shouldn't be on a woman...
I have personally decided that if I was born transgendered, I'd be set for the female to male transition and I could just give up waxing for a while and be good (save some money on some doctor prescribed stuff....) I know it doesn't work that way in real life but that's how I feel.
I've always been curious and interested in learning more about transgendered individuals, but still have a way to go...but I digress. No, I'm not done...I mean it's gotta take real "balls" ya know. Its like I take pride in who I am and my "lifestyle" but still catch hell for it sometimes...it takes an even stronger person to function in the "genderqueer" world I would assume. I dunno, the whole concept in general fascinates me....but again, I'm off topic....
Chin hair is frustrating. Hormone issues are frustrating....sometimes i think that my mind and body aren't on the same page, honestly...I mean the fact that my body seems to think I'm a 37 year old lumber jack from wisconsin with the beard I can grow and me trying to pretend that I'm a "lady"...or as much ladyish as I'm willing to be just doesn't add up. AT ALL. A little side note is that I suffer from Penis envy but more in a I just want one that really long to smack people in the face with when they say stupid shit....
What inspired this blog was me sitting at the desk and trying to tweeze a lip hair with my fingernails...it's not working. The chin hairs which are bristly by themselves are easy to grab if I neglect to wax or shave...but this one bristly lip hair is going to put me over the edge. I can feel it and it's bothering me. I have also started growing hair under my chin as well so I have to have someone else tell me when that gets unruly as sometimes I can't see them and I walk around with hair long enough to put beads on and shit... I should play for a ZZ Top cover band perhaps...
Just say fuck it...stop tweezing, waxing, plucking, and shaving and just go au natural... yeah right I'm too anal for all that "free ballin" hair growth shit...i hate hair. To the point that I often shave my arms just to not have to look at it. I know part of this is hormones, a little PCOS (polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)...but right now it just sucks. I have more testosterone (or the female equivalent) than some burley men I know...it's out of control.
A happy trail....pubes that would grow down to my knee caps and up to my boobs if I let them... ugh...I'm so tired of hair. It's going to drive me batty. This is probably TMI for anyone reading but dammit, someone had to say it. I can't be the only one out there that could audition for the part of Beast from XMen and get the part by just not shaving or waxing. I'm so not a chick to the core...haha...I just have tendencies I suppose. I'm confused

Work Woes
So I need to vent...that way my head doesnt explode on the drive home...
Sometimes I hate my job. Being the On-site supervisor for a staffing agency that provides labor to a warehouse really isn't difficult in theory...but the little things that you have to deal with can add up.
Over the last couple of weeks, we brought in about 19 people to do a rework project (inspecting chairs mostly)...Yesterday I had to tell ten of them there was no more work and today another six. Granted they knew going in that it was a short term assignment with the possibilities of getting into a different department as we ramp up for Peak season...but still it bums me out.
Technically they arent fired, they are just on the "bench" waiting for a new assignment, but no one wants to have to tell someone in today's economy that sorry--No work for you, sorry about your luck. My record to date is having to fire/lay off 13 people in one day. That was brutal.
Like I said, this situation is a little different because they aren't fired as of yet...but if something doesnt become available, they will be.
I so often feel like the bad guy...it's sad sometimes.
I've learned a lot having this position. I can still remember firing my first person labor day weekend of last year...I cried when i got home. I understand now that there are often things out of my control such as lay offs...but when it comes to folks not performing or meeting expectations and I'm coaching them and doing everything in my power to get them to where they need to be and they repetitively fall short--then yeah...you have to go.
I'm not here to be everyone's friend, though a lot of the Cost Plus's employees come to me to vent just to be heard (though they know I have no control with the way that the warehouse runs its business.) But I digress.
I've grown a lot working here...even if I am just a contractor (what my company calls its temps basically)...Contractor sounds better and suggests a great level of stability and respect, which my company does offer whenever possible. I was hired as a contractor with plans to become the On premise manager within six months, but because of the economy and Cost Plus's restructuring that left me in limbo for a while... you see where my contractors are striving to become Cost Plus employees, I'm working to become an internal employee for my company...(hence the limbo) I'm not considered a contractor by my contractors and I'm not seen as an internal employee by my company so it's weird. But it works for me right now since I'm so close to being done with school.
Nonetheless...it's time to go home. My Aunt Melissa has been with Grandma all day so it's time for me to give her a break, do some hip hop abs, watch some tv and friggin do some homework...I hope everything works out in the long run.
I have a chin hair to pluck before it drives me 'batshit crazy' I can feel it
