Haircut Oops

I took today off. After last week's busy schedule and rough patches, I felt the need to extend my weekend by a day. I got up a bit late, went to the gym, showered, and hit Qdoba for lunch. As I was leaving, I looked at my mop of hair and thought today might be a good day to get it cut.

So I dropped by Great Clips and got seated by a young lady who just returned from lunch. We were talking about how today isn't her usual day to work and that I was off myself. She looked at the computer and asked if I still wanted a "5" on the top and "3" on the sides, which are the clipper guides for my usual cut. I said sure.

She sat me down, put the guide on the clippers and took a big swipe on top of my head. She paused suddenly and stared down at my head. She then looked at the clipper guide and got a look of horror on her face that I caught. I knew what she'd done before she mentioned it. She fessed up that she just took a big stripe of my hair with the shorter guide on top.

I bust out laughing, mostly at the look on her face.

I saw no reason to wreck a beautiful day by making someone feel bad. And there was really no harm done. I told her it was okay that we could just go really short this time, especially since it was warmer. She was relieved and thanked me profusely for not freaking out on her. So my hair is not much longer than a "burr" haircut, but it probably will feel good as the heat comes up.

LOL! I think there are parts of my beard that are longer than the hair on my head now.
