They are attempting to change the work policy to one where unnatural hair colour is no longer acceptable. This would include my hair colour as I leave the underside natural and simply have highlights done. I have been trying to make negotiations with the boss, however, he is less than willing to cooperate with me.

I find myself frustrated and aggravated with the man, which is nothing new. I do sometimes believe that I'll end up dying forever beneath him in terms of the corporate ladder. This company would be so much better were I to become the head of it. One day it will happen. One day.

Meanwhile, I will need to attempt to find someplace nice to take Plum. She seems to be in need of it, and frankly so am I. Everything is terribly agitating right now. Perhaps she would enjoy partaking as audience to a play. Does she like musicals, I wonder?

Come to think of it, I should likely give Miss Oblique a call one of these days and see how she fares. After all, there is no sense in having a phone if one only uses it for work. Although I suppose that is reason enough.

Now then, I've some last minute invoices to prepare for the head start tomorrow morning.

I thought red was a natural color.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

I would have thought so as well, however, it's said that the shade of red is a bit too bright for their tastes. It's a never-ending battle, dear Plum.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

Gee that really is lame. Your boss sounds pretty uptight.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

You have no idea. I take it your work place is nothing like that.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

Nah, not at all. Why are they so worried about what shade of red's in your hair anyway? Aren't there more important things to worry about?

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

They worry because I represent Fresca Incorporated. It's my obligation to be an outstanding "poster boy", or so I was told by the Big Man on Campus.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

That's dumb. It's not like your hair is 5 different colors or something.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

Now there's an idea. I think I'll go do exactly that now and see how they react.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

I bet they'll all freak out!

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

And fire me. Don't forget that.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

Gee, what frustrating people.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

I heard you weren't supposed to be saying that anymore.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

........... I'm working on it.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

So what happens when you get caught? Any penalties?

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

Last time, Jayden smacked me. You guys can't expect me to drop a habit in a day!

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

But hasn't it been a few days already?

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, but I've been saying it for a long time.....

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

Well, keep trying. You can do it. I'll tickle you otherwise.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

Well I haven't given up yet! It's just not that easy, that's all.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

You're such a good girl.

[magical_plums.insanejournal.com]

.......Right.

[nigredo_fist.insanejournal.com]

If you would like, I can have a word with your father.

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

...Wait, what? Excuse me?

[nigredo_fist.insanejournal.com]

Don't you think it's unfair that your father is imposing this rule on you when you live in a city full of heroes?

Not to mention, even lawyers and lawmakers and city officials have unnatural hair colors. A lawyer I personally know and am good friends with has medium blue hair.

From what it sounds like, your father does not know how this city works.

[Eli has never said anything about his father...]

Albert, what gave you the notion that my father had anything to do with this?

[So he's going to keep playing the dumb card.]

Private;

[nigredo_fist.insanejournal.com]

I'm not as dumb as I look, Eli.

Private;

[invoicingisfun.insanejournal.com]

I didn't say you were. Given that I never talk about my father or my relationship to him, I suppose there are suspicions. Still, little connected him to my work life.

There you have it, however. We'll talk in person about it.

Private;

[nigredo_fist.insanejournal.com]

In any case, there are only so many companies in Paragon. It looks like my assumptions were true.

We'll talk in person after this little task I have to do in Cimerora.
