Only in Dreams

Okay. Very rarely do I remember my dreams.  But one of the two I had last night is worth mentioning.  My Dog Marley is a Bassett Hound/Lab mix.  She's a big dog on short legs.  In my dream, she laid an egg.  Out of the egg hatched a puppy.  WTF is wrong with me?

Grooming--I miss my Goat-Tee

The nerve of some people.  I'm usually clean shaven, as I am in constant contact with the public.  I have an image to project for my employer.  But every once and a while, I decide to grow a goat-tee. NOt a full Van Dyke, just a simple goat.  And I keep it trimmed.  On my days off, I don't shave.  I give my face a break.  As a rule, I usually shave/trim every other day.  So yesterday, my boss commented how he missed how I looked in the summer.  I politely told him I would shave/trim that evening.  Today I went in freshly shaven, goat-tee nicely trimmed, and he still commented again how he was going to have to get me a hair net for our upcoming health inspection.  I joked that I'll wear a dust-mask.  He didn't find it funny, and proceeded to tell me that he personally doesn't care for the look and would prefer it if I was clean shaven.  In no way did I look like any member of ZZ Top. Well, I pride myslef on the fact that I can grow a decent looking goat-tee, and have reluctantly shaved it off.  Alas, my vanity shall not be my downfall.  However, I would love to become self-employed just so I can groom my facial hair any way I see fit.  Not to mention the fact that I can't stand working for other people.
