Of Haircuts and Shaves.
Dont get me wrong, though i am a steady narcissist, I am not the kind who is perpetually in love with himself. But today was a totally different story.
My CEO is coming down to visit the location, hence I had to be in my best. Saturdays though are days for casual wear, I drudgingly cast away the faded denims that are my weekend favorites and pulled over formals.
Reality hit me when my face in the mirror said that i was overdue a couple of days on a shave and a couple of months on a hair cut. After dropping my better half, I rushed to the barber shop just to find that a lot of people were just like me trying to get their weekend shaves and haircuts. And the scheduled time at office was 10, and at 9.50 I was still getting my shave. And the worst mistake you will do will be to rush your barber to meet your timelines. So after another 15 minutes of an impatient wait, the ordeal was over. Not to forget the fact that I caught a luxurious nap during the whole excercise. The face in the mirror was not mine, and were it not for my chin's second cousin growing silently behind it, I would not have recognised my own face, and boy, what a way to start the day when I noticed : I am cute ....

Good thing that it turned out good. Now, you're ready to face your CEO and who knows, the boss will even give you your much awaited promotion because of your looks. Cross your fingers. :)
abaniko, he keeps seeing from an altitude of 50000 Ft, and I am too small for him. :))
