I forgot to mention that I tried jogging around the apartment complex tonight to test out the foot. Not good. It was feeling way better. Now it's sore as hell again.

You managed to get your haircut and back to the comp in 19 minutes?? Must be a quality job.

I ended up getting a phone call just before I left. I was late. Actually it doesn't matter too much. The only reason I set up an appointment is because my friend Sheila cuts it at her house and she needed time to get the kids ready for bed before I got there.

Pros:
  • Save money on haircuts/shampoo/gel/combs/hai rdryers/picks
  • Less time getting ready in the morning
  • No-hair days are less embarassing than bad-hair days
Cons:
  • Sun-burn

I had said hairstyle for quite a few years. Here's a picture from the wayback machine:

So we're logging haircuts now too?

If the date on that picture is right (2002), I would have bet you'd have been as bald as a cue ball by now, but it doesn't look like you haven't lost much, if any, since then.

Only if you are on a fat loss program and you get at least a pound of hair clipped.

That is the correct date (or close to it, anyways.) Yeah, my hair loss started and then abruptly stopped. Something I can really razz my younger brother about. His hasn't stopped. LOL

Well, I just didn't have time to get to the gym yesterday and didn't even try to squeeze in pushups or pullups. Today will probably be the same.

This is a good busy, though. I've had several requests for interviews, and the ones I've done so far have gone really well. I feel like I knocked yesterday's out of the park and the phone interview from last week got me a sitdown interview next week. I have an interview with one of the Big Four today and one next week with the firm I most want to work for.

However, with all this going on, so is school. I'm pulling my hair out working on some stuff for accounting class. It's got me saying, "You want to do this for a living???" Oh, well. I have to learn it.

When you land that big-league, six-figure job don't forget about all us little people

The fun is never in simply applying (or learning in your case) the basic rules but rather using them creatively to solve big problems, but you have to master them first to do that. Patience, patience.

real men are bald. Some by nature, some by choice. It raises your testosterone by 132%. If you grow a gotee then you get an extra 400% boost. You'll be pissing miller light.

...I guess you already do that...scratch that

I had my head shaved and then let each hair do it's thing. They're getting kind of rowdy so I think I'll go with a one blade this time. My barber is a regular guy with a barber pole named Ronnie. His father was a barber named Pete. The shop has been going for at least 60 years. That's got to be worth 30 masculine points.

I'm not surprised about your interviews - you strike me as someone who would interview very well. I'm sure you'll have multiple job offers to choose from, no matter what your hair looks like!
