Okay enough of the CSN rip off.
I haven't cut my hair in over 5 months. It is annoying me but I am loathe to cut it because for some odd reason I think that will draw me back toward a lifestyle that I have rejected. i.e. corporate america.
My stint of 17 years in corporate america, specifically the health insewerance industry keeps coming back to me, even though I am loathe to think about it.
Just the other day I reluctantly went to the doctor, even though every fiber of my being told me that it would be a waste of time and money. I knew this because I know how the system works. Doc's get paid by the number of visits/procedures/drugs the perform or dispense. So the best thing is to be edumacated about your own body and what kinds of self care you can administer and when things really are bad. Save the doctors visits those times. Other than that, don't give them your money, or have them bill the insewerance company so they can turn around and charge you more for coverage.
But I went. And I was right, it was a waste of time and money. But at least no one is bitchin' at me to go anymore.
Now that I am a college student again, I get all the activist craziness of any college campus. Outrage at a guy being charged with vandalism for writing on the sidewalk with chalk. Well yes I think its stupid and outrageous, but guess what, it is also the law. The law does not differentiate on the type of material used or where the material is deposited. So tough shit, dude. Sorry.
This would not be a surprise or nowhere near as contentious had any one of the 60+ thousand people on campus had they spent the half day in any corporate orientation where you go through corporate handbook.
Corporate America is nothing but exemplary at stifling a persons first amendment freedom of expression. I once worked for a company that dictated how, if you wanted to, you could color your hair. Many companies still have policies regarding tattoo's and piercings.
So I guess that is why I am loathe to cut my hair. I can finally walk around with short sleeves on, so fuck 'em, I am going all the way.
