Hair reset

Yesterday as I was washing my hands in the office restroom I looked at my hair and the switch flipped.  I had been trying to grow my hair longer which you can kind of see from this picture from several weeks ago.  I then tried to taper my hair from short on the sides/back to longer on top, that didn’t go well.  It almost looked like a bowl hair cut.

I then tried to “fix” it but that looked like shit as well which eventually lead to my hair apocalypse last night.  As soon as I got home I took out the clippers with a 4MM guard and buzzed my head. There is something therapeutic for me when I remove 99% of my hair.  It sort of hardens me mentally for whatever reason.  I will probably try to let my hair grow longer again but this time I will utilize the skills of a hair stylist to trim it.  Trying to do it myself with a mirror is a recipe for failure.  Fun fact, in my life, I have only had my hair cut by someone other than my mom or significant other twice.

I have three days left until I take over as the director of our department.  If I had my preference I would want my buddy to stick around until he was 62 to retire like he originally planned.  However in the big picture if I had my 30 years now like he does in I would be out the door as quick as he is.  If I was in his spot I would probably be uprooting most of my existence and be rebooting in some other zip code with my current state of affairs.
