To shave or not to shave that is the question...
-
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?

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

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

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.

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

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

Um, does that mean I should not shave my legs?:-O

No, it means you should start rubbing Rogaine on your face each morning. Sorry, them's the rules...

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

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:

I would re-schedule with my client for Tuesday. I always look for a third or even fourth option.

Sorry! My expression of the rule was unintentionally sexist. I should have said, "All proper male developers have beards; for female developers beards are optional (but their absence is preferred)." Oops! Now I see why lawyers have such a fine time! I meant absence of beards, not absence of female developers.
