Tell Her

I actually found out about Hair For Hope (HFH) last year around the same time but decided not to participate as I had just started work as a Human Resource Associate. I was new to the company and I didn't think that it was appropriate to go around my daily duties bald headed. So I dropped the idea.

This year, I decided to do it. However, I felt that it was only right that I informed my boss before I jumped into it as my actions as a HR Associate, will reflect upon the entire HR department. There are no restrictions about being bald but if in any case, it violated any HR guidelines, I would be bringing the whole department down with me.

So I was briefly talking to my boss after work, about the skies, the weather, the sun etc. Then I casually mentioned "what would you think if I shaved my head in support of Hair For Hope?" My boss gave me an empty look and was dumbfounded. She was too shock to say anything. She then asked me to think about it before I made my decision.

I was rather dampened. But all is not lost. She would talk about it to me tomorrow so I went home, seriously thinking long and hard about actually shaving my hair - every single one - off.
