    Ok it is Monday. I opted not to shave and I wore jeans into work today. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be seeing any clients. Well, I was wrong. Looks like a client is going to show up today after lunch. It is for a very short one week part time deal. I am thinking I better go home over lunch shave and put some nicer cloths on. You know the old saying, "You never have a second chance to make a very good first impression." What's your opinion?

      Is that why I have a razor in the filing cabinet? I never know when a client is going to show up, but luckily we are pretty relaxed on dress code. But for the forgettory (as apposed to a memory) that I have, there is a travel kit in the filing cabinet in case I do forget to shave.

        No a bad idea. Of course my house is only about 15 minute drive from my office so it isn't too bad to drive home either. Ben

              Yep. A razor and a toothbrush. You can't expect to be taken seriously with half a leaf of salad between your front teeth... :-D

                I wear ankle socks and sneakers everyday except the days I wear cowboy boots. Shaving is optional ( I look better rough), sometimes my hair desperately needs cutting, but, amazingly, my pants and shirts are always freshly pressed.

                        I don't know, I think I look pretty good with a little stubble, but I am afraid it doesn't make a very good first impression. Ben

                            Yes to keep our faces warm in the winter, but it is still summer here. Although all the rain has cooled it off a bit. Ben

                              While I do not meet clients anymore, I have an emergency kit of tooth care, pit stick, hairbrush, etc. Since your drive is short you may as well change. If it was a longer drive I would say no.

                                That is kind what I was thinking. Might was well make the best impression I can even if it is just going to be a short small project. You never know when the future will hold. Ben

                                    As does clothing. But seriously, remember that the "managers" wear suits and are well groomed; I doubt you want to be mistaken for one of "them". The less presentable the programmer, the better the code. Forget shaving, add an aluminum hat to your outfit.

                                      I often do in the winter, since it is quite cold here in MN. The summers are hot and a beard isn't much fun then. Ben

                                        Exactly. This week the client may want something small but in the future you never know.

                                          Ok it is Monday. I opted not to shave and I wore jeans into work today. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be seeing any clients. Well, I was wrong. Looks like a client is going to show up today after lunch. It is for a very short one week part time deal. I am thinking I better go home over lunch shave and put some nicer cloths on. You know the old saying, "You never have a second chance to make a very good first impression." What's your opinion?

                                          My opinion is that if you have to ask the question, "Should I go home to shave and change clothes?" on an Internet forum, there are bigger issues at stake here.
