I had stopped shaving since mid-March, feeling that the growing disarray reflected my mood rather well.
this got me to a cross between the beard of Rutherford B. Hayes and one of the Smith Bros. on the old cough drops boxes.
but last night I stumbled across a rerun of some lifetime achievement award given to David Letterman.
geesh, THAT'S who I look like!
my understanding is that for him, it's a symbol of "I don't give a fock, I'm retired." it looks terrible, but hey it's his face.
this helped me realize that the wild furball on my face wasn't reflecting my mood, it was helping CREATE that mood.
so I bought a new electric razor and did a cleanup in Aisle 3 last night, so to speak.
still have a beard for the moment, but looking in the mirror no longer depresses me and I have gotten off to a flying start at work today!
