That's awesome. Where did you work with children, school, community center, ? I'm jealous of your boss. I did have an old boss who told me my red hair (at the time was awesome) and told me not to worry about the tattoo's, to let the parents judge me based on how well I take care of their children. She was pretty awesome too.
Katimavik? Isn't that in northern Quebec? Or is it a program, like an exchange program or something? What do you do exactly?
Luckily, as it turns out, the official request to cover it up coincided with my last day at the preschool so I don't have to make a decision about it. I'd like to think I'd be tough and keep showing it but I probably would've covered it up.
I do hope all of SGland feels the same as you.
