I colored my hair again last night. I've been trying to tweak it towards some red highlights, like it used to have in my younger days. This time I chose a color that (on the box) was pretty close to what I wanted. It was called "Dark Auburn Brown". Sounded safe enough. Did the test on a clipping of my hair. It came out rather brownish looking. I figured I'd see the red highlights when I actually did my hair.
After it dried last night I checked myself out in my admittedly dim bathroom. Looked pretty good. Brown, with some red highlights. I was content.
Today, for the first time, people noticed that I'd colored my hair. I got several compliments, which was nice, though I'd have preferred a color that was a little less noticeable (up to now, every time I colored my hair, nobody noticed, which was just the way I liked it).
I just saw myself in the bathroom mirror here. I'm a freaking redhead!
What in the world have I done to myself??????????

what a gang you've got there, salamander. they must provide hours and hours of entertainment.
I understand how you can feel unhappy, especially when you're exhausted. Work is obviously not satisfying you, so there's something you have to make a hard choice on. Float a resume!
Taking classes at a university would do several positive things for you from my point of view, also. Occupying your mind with learning something of your choosing, if you're like me, will be a pleasing thing to you. Also, your classmates and the others at the school will provide opportunities for social interaction. Not to mention you could end up with another job (for more money and with more vacation?) from what you learn. You will have a perfect excuse for going to a nice quiet library and be by yourself, too.
Will you be able to do this while at your current job? With your current hours, I doubt it. Would I advise you to leave work and go to school full time? I don't think so, but sometimes we need to be bold. Am I a typical male concentrating on problem solving instead of discussion? *ahem* What can I do, it's in the genes. I hope you figure out some way to be happier. All I know is, the answer to being unhappy isn't always to carry on and bear it.
A lot of people get SAD around this time of year. Do you think you're just feeling SAD?

it's like a regular sitcom coming here lately :)
i found your entry about the professor heartwarming and lovely
Regarding the hair color: LOL---I have done that too. Finally took a mirror outside to see what it really looked like, and I freaked!
I like what Shay41 has to say. Only we can change our path. We just have to get frustrated enough to do it. That is the hard part :)
Hang in there.
