    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?

      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

        Evolution gave us facial hair for a reason.  Shaving goes against nature.

          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.

                            As I mentioned in my post, I am planning on going home and such. I was just curious as to what other people thought, since it is a very small project. The whole thing came up, because for a split second I thought what if I didn't shave and change cloths? As it is I will be leaving in like 10 minutes. When things are slow at work it is enjoyable to discuss things with others. That is what the forum post is about. Ben

                              A little stubble look always reminds me more of George Michael than Clint Eastwood for some reason.

                                    Thankfully, I am not going for either one of those looks. I don't think I look much like either of those two people, so I don't think I have too much to worry about. Ben

                                        I'm not well-endowed in that area. If I "forgot" to shave no one would notice. I only shave every other day as it is. Even my wife doesn't notice unless I go nearly a week without shaving. As it is, my wife doesn't like facial hair irritating her tender skin, so rather than having her turn exclusively to women, staying nice and smooth keeps the marriage happy. If loving her is improper I don't wanna be proper. :cool:
