I am an old wives' tale

[triskellian]

One day last week, I spent part of my bike ride home being rained on. It wasn't that cold, and I don't really mind light rain, so I didn't bother stopping to get out my waterproof. The next day, I woke up all sneezy and sniffly (yes, even more so than usual).

Yesterday, I went to bed with wet hair (I never actively dry my hair, but I usually wash it in the morning), and this morning, same thing: even more sneezy and sniffly than usual. Gah.

In other news, I'm wondering how long it's possible to be in the office with blatantly silly-coloured hair before someone remarks on it. Perhaps they think it's a terrible error and they're doing me a kindness by ignoring it...

Silly as in "oops, dyeing error" or silly as in "I love it, but it's not remotely natural looking"?

Oooh, but what blatantly silly color is it?

If it's predominantly women in the office, I'd say they're doing you a kindness. If it's predominantly men, I'd say they haven't noticed, because one of them would certainly have commented, but they generally don't notice.

All you need is a stop-watch and you'll find out!

Red as the icon suggests? Or is there a movement towards purple in progress?

One of seven unpleasant truths presented to Bob the Dinosaur, of Dilbert fame, is "If people don't comment on your new hairdo, they hate it."

Sounds fantastic though!
