I haveto wear my dreads up and tied back when im at work, its an absolute bitch sometimes, adn today its really pulling at my scalp, id there anything I can do to stop it hurting so much, or different ways of tying it up? my hair is very heavy, but im not allowed to have thick headbands and such things :-(
Change your job! Their loss, you're obviously not fulfilling your vocation, and in the long run, something will crack. Either you or your employer.
I work in the post office, my manager is cool with the dreads, she spends half of her time defending them to higher management. I used to have my hair tied in an updo with a wide headband, but someone complained to her and she was forced to ask me not to wear it. I respect my manager, she is a good women, but we cant help what comapny we work for :-(
how are u tying them now? mine ya know are very heavy too, i usualy take the 1 dread thats closest to the middle of the top of my head, and just wrap it around em all 2-3 times n tuck it underr i do that thjough from the top just to keep em off the grounhd.. (or my neck n shoulders when hot) maybe what youd find best would be just tying them back?
Fuck that shit!!! Damn i hate people who have to stick there nose in shit that doesnt concern them, seriously!!! how much of a dick must a person be to get all bent out of shape about the presentation of the local post office employee to go out of theyre way to complain. /sigh
i was thinking the same thing it was a customer who complained about a headband right? how lame what next? some weirdo complkains cause they dont like the color of your socks so u hafta change that too..what if they just dont like green eyes should we get contacts? if were doing a job..that benifits the customer, what right do they have dictating how we look? what gives them the right to even complain?\ how many smelly ugly nasty people do u as a postal worker deal with daily without complaining? lame lame lame
Would a scarf or something be acceptable? They'd be more under-cover that way, and you don't have to put so much stress on your scalp since the pressure is mostly on the fabric.
