Appearance.

There has been some talk in the office recently regarding personal appearance. Specifically that of hair length, facial hair and showing tattoo's. We've had a few chats about this in the despatch department between ourselves about how we feel about the possibility of enforced appearance rules and generally it would go down like cheesecake at a slim-fast meeting.

Its not that I don't want to look "acceptable", but the way I dress and present myself has been accepted since I first joined the company 10 years ago, I believe it would be pretty slack timing to start enforcing those rules now on me now. I read a BBC article about a young lady who was very tattoo'd about the chest and arm area, on her first day of work (in an office, with no customer contact), she was told that she looked unprofessional. So, even if her work in the job was impeccable, her timekeeping was superb and her inter-work relationships were all good, the tone of her skin was enough to rear up her managers prejudices in her and cause her to leave that job.

Anyway, I'll clamber off this high horse now, bed time soon...... just enough time to power up an A10C before I do :)
