it's not easy being green

[geekchick]

It would probably be a bad idea to dye my hair green in the tail end of this neverending interview process for this job, right? Especially since one of the first obligations if I do get hired would be to go to the organization's annual meeting and meet the board of directors and such. I have got to find a more practical way of dealing with feeling blah or unhappy than dying my hair Crayola-box colors.

Yes, it would probably be a bad idea. Those corporate types don't seem to "get it".

Sometimes baking helps. Or a MAC fix. Or dancing.

<hugz> I hope you feel better soon.

Perhaps a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies is in order, but only if someone else will help me eat them. Chris does not eat pumpkin of any variety, and I'm not feeling up for eating an entire batch all by myself. (Or rather, I am, and that's a Problem[tm]. ;) ) The MAC fix sounds good too but will have to wait until I am employed again, alas. I think I'll feel better after the traditional Friday night Chinese food and Invader Zim. (9 pm, Cartoon Network, just in case you wanted to watch it or anything. ;) )

I guess the advisability of green would depend on the color of the outfit you'd likely wear to meet the Board. In my case, for example, it would probably be a navy blue suit - and I don't think lightish green goes that well with navy. Your Wardrobe May Vary.

Are you the kind of person who can be jolted out of blah by new people and new situations, or would that just make things worse? I keep meaning to invite you up here to meet some alt.polyfolk. (And to have the chance to meet you.)

I was thinking of a nice dark forest green, which actually matches many of my outfits fairly well. I think that the organization is generally pretty casual, but I'm not sure yet if they're *that* casual.

I think it tends to depend on the variety of "blah" that I'm experiencing. Sometimes it makes things much better, other times when I get to feeling blah all I want to do is curl up at home with my cat and my fuzzy blankets and a book. I've mostly been dealing with SAD and the beginnings of a holiday cold, so recent energy levels lean in the direction of "blanket and book". I would at some point like to get out and meet folks, as I've been feeling quite hermit-like lately; hopefully my energy levels will pick back up and get rid of a lot of the "blah".

Oddly, I seem to think of light green and navy as a very PREPPY sort of color combination - not sure why.
