My boss walked in to my office the oth­er day and intro­duced me to the newest hire, a tech who also hap­pens to be a very com­pe­tent artist. The man tells me that he occa­sion­al­ly sees me on the bus in the morn­ing, so I ask him if he’s sure that it’s me and not some oth­er Asian guy. He tells me with no hes­i­ta­tion, as if he’d been wait­ing for me to ask him this ques­tion, that it was my hair that gave me away.
