I don’t want to harp on about having blue hair or anything, but at least it’s something unique to bring to the blogosphere.
Anyway, I recently spent some time in our wonderful capital, Canberra, speaking with government I.T. people. When confronted with the blue hair, especially when it matches so well with my black suit, I often get the comments I wrote about here, but more often than not with work relationships, I get the more neutral:
So why the blue hair?
And when I reply with:
Oh, because I do part time theatre and impro comedy.
…they usually nod their heads knowingly. This wouldn’t be so strange if it weren’t for the theatre and impro comedy people asking the same question, and me replying with:
Oh, because I’m in I.T.
They nod, knowingly.
