So I posted about this amazing job opportunity to become a program manager and worried about my hair. First world problems.

I was told I was a shoo in for the position and just what they were looking for and the job was "mine to lose".
I had tech training that week so I had to look the part while tearing apart and researching lab equipment.
Then I went to the interview. And I lost the job. My hair looked ok but I am just not polished enough. Just. Not.
So I felt a little down and my confidence took a beating.

But guess what?? I got back home on Friday and moped for the whole weekend and thought about all the ways I am better in the labs than I could ever be in corporate America. And kind of resigned myself to just staying where I am and stop with any of that ambitious bs.
And on Monday my boss called me and said he was worried all week I would leave him to be a "suit". He spoke with our VP and they decided to move me into Lab and Tech Manager. Which is actually a better salary than the PM position and I get to be exactly Me. I am perfect for the job with no need for hair debacles and heels. Just my trusty lab coat.
Yay!!

**I have no spouse or boyfriend, just a teen daughter and some pets so this is as exciting as my life gets. Lol. Thanks for all your help trying to clean me up. Sometimes things really do work out.

Agreed!! I am so damn happy about this - it wasn't even a position available or I would have went for it.
If I never tried for the PM job I probably never would have been promoted. Sometimes failing wins. Yay

Nothing really. I have just always been fashionably challenged to say the least. I put my hair in ponytails and buns to hide the fact that I have no idea what to do with it. It was just something I focused on that I thought if I could change it I would suddenly become someone I am just not.
Lab coats and buns hide a multitude of fashion sins.
