oh the indignity

I shaved my beard off this morning. All gone. I'm clean shaven like and fresh faced just like my avatar. I dislike shaving as I have incredibly sensitive skin. So sensitive I'm the only person I know bleeds after using an electric razor (and no it isn't the razor's fault). Though my cheeks and chin are fresh and smooth (or as smooth as they ever get) I decided to leave my sideburns long. Kinda seventies styled long. Not too wide, just long (they reach my jawbone). It's not a bad look, but it isn't a good look either. I did it for fun, just to do something different.

Then at work, there I was standing next to a female co-worker when a patron (an older lady carrying her dog in a bag - I hate those people!) came in and said "Excuse me ladies, can I have a Caramel Macchiato (sp?)." Ladies!

My co-worker (who shall remain anonymous) cracked up. She laughed like I've never seen her laugh prior and for a good two minutes with barely taking a breath.

Ladies indeed.

That's you in a nutshell right there...total ambiguity about everything.

That was an AWESOME story.

I bet the sideburns look good. It's better than that damn beard. I am so anti-beard on a guy. Need the clean shaven thing. Sideburns are okay.

Awhh Ladies...hehe I am still laughing...ohh...yea...that's good.

I can't handle you Amichai!

Hey Amichai!

The no picture comment is actually a compliment to you because you rely on good content instead of throwing a picture of a puppy up when you have nothing to say and hoping for the best!

Keep up the good work!

PS I also do not own a digital camera. I scam them off others.

Perhaps your customer's brain was frazzled from all the time she spends listening to a small dog yap. Whatever, she was just... umm...an idiot ;)
