I have bad hair today.

I
admit this not because I want pity. I just want to share how bad hair hurts my
business.

I
woke up with bad hair. I washed it yesterday, so I wasn’t going to mess with it
this morning. So I primped and fussed and tried to get it to work.

It
didn’t. It was all frizzy, and I saw the ends out of the corner of my eye as I
worked here on the computer. It was driving me nuts. I got up three times to
try to fashion it.

It
didn’t work.

So
45 minutes ago, I showered.

After
the shower, I messed with my hair some more. I saw my roots, which need dyeing.

In
looking at my roots, I saw my face was peeling off. I needed to
exfoliate.

Then
I saw a couple of blemishes that needed my attention.

And
my teeth needed flossing again.

And
my hair still wasn’t quite right.

In
all, I’ve wasted at least 100 minutes on trying to get my hair and its
environs into some kind of shape.

All
this to avoid writing a proposal
and actually doing work.

I’ve come to the
conclusion that I would be very effective if I simply switched to wearing a
wig.
