I got fired yesterday from the job I started a week ago, because the Beard is a "health code violation."  That, however, is a load of bullshit.  I kept it properly restrained, I even called a friends mom who's been a health inspector for 12 years and she said with the way I had it restrained it shouldn't have been a violation.  This has led me to believe that, somehow, in one week I caused the co-owner to have some sort of personal beef with me.  This guy works in the kitchen and has moderately long hair and wears no sort of hair restraint(which is a pretty big damn violation).  In fact, I was one of the only three people in that kitchen that kept my hair and facial hair restrained properly.  I just fuckin hate when somebody hands me blatantly obvious bullshit, and expects me to believe it.

edit:  I just remembered something else; when I had my trial there three weeks ago, right before they hired me, I was talking about the Beard and told them about the Beard and Mustache Championships, so it's not like they could have been under the misconception that the Beard was going to do anything but get longer.  They never even mentioned the Beard being even remotely problematic until I had quit my other job and started working there.
