"Did you join the military?"This is the question that I have heard twenty or thirty times in the past couple of days. After the first couple of people asked me; I decided to play around with any further inquiries. I claimed that I had signed up for the marines and was going to start basic training in two weeks. What was surprising was how differently people reacted to that statement, including the people who work with me every day and know me well.
Some; reacted like my CNA coordinator. Laughed out loud and stated loudly, "Yea....right!"
Some didn't know what to say. "Oh..." Awkward silence and a subject change.
Some questioned my sanity. "Are you crazy?"
Finally some questioned whether I was telling the truth; but couldn't decide. "Are you serious or are you joking?"
I never expected to get so much enjoyment out of a haircut.
Oh. About the haircut. I was considering trying out different haircuts under a recommendation of a friend. I asked a bunch of people what they thought I should try. I received all kinds of recommendations which I gave very thoughtful consideration to. Then I realized it. All of those hairstyles looked like they actually required more than about two seconds of work. Yea. Not happening. I still wanted to something that would fit my two criteria. Different and easy. A buzz cut fits both those criteria pretty well! The friend in question also approved so double bonus.
