Bad for bunny, good for Doc

A chocolate bunny that was going to be for sale broke at the small store we have here at work, so it was broken up into even more pieces and given away, news spread fast but I got a big chunk o' bunny!

The Bad Haircut Redux

Not to many surprised reactions at work about my haircut, it's fairly common to see guys with buzz cuts at work.

You know what the difference is between a good haircut and a bad haircut? About two weeks!

Pile O' Computers Gets Smaller

I couldn't help but notice that the pile of computers appears smaller. Mostly it looks as though someone has been smashing the monitors and CPU's and making a big mess at it too.

I wonder how long the pile is going to be there.

Bad hair day

Doc Meyer
Today was my day for getting a haircut at my usual place, a small salon 2 blocks from my apartment. I go there and to my disappointment the windows and doors were shuddered up and the hanging sign removed. I need not explain what happened.

Later on today I decided to go try another nearby salon. I go inside and run into a colleague from work, she asks if they could slide me in but they were booked up. She speaks Spanish and said she would accompany me to the other salon a few blocks up the road.

We go there and they can slide me in, they also had someone who spoke English. I bid my colleague goodbye and spoke to stylist, explained I wanted it short on the sides with a clipper "No problem" he says and explains this to another stylist.

I am directed to a seat and sit down. With little fanfare the stylist grabs a clipper and proceeds to whack the side of my head down to about a 1/4", I'm a little disturbed but nothing I can do about it now, he asks if it was okay for the back and I'm thinking I don't want a mullet!

He cuts the back and then all of a sudden he drags the clipper along the top of my head, right down to a 1/4"! My eyes just about popped out of my head.

The English speaking stylist asked me if it was okay, I told him no, he said "You asked for a short haircut", I said "Yes, but not this short".

Eventually the torture session was over, I paid twice what I paid the other place, for a terrible cut, and here is a terrible picture to go along with it.
