[Groop]OT: A little bit of networking...

[John Sefchick]

I know how you feel Larry, I quit my job back in June for basically the 
same reasons as yours.  Primarily due to the length of my hair, I was even 
threatened with dismissal if I didn't get it cut. They of course backed 
down when I told them they would have to fire me before I cut my hair. What 
makes it so funny is that I worked for a public tv/radio station.  BTW if 
anyone living in Philadelphia reads this don't give WHYY TV 12/ 91 FM money.

  Good luck in your job search. Hey if your interested you could check 
where I used to work. They do publish their own magazine. If your NOT a 
white male with long hair you have a chance of getting a job there.

John
