In my case, I look like I just wrote a book for Wrox Press. I think I need to leave my computer screen and get a tan(You would think that my CRT monitor would be able to microwave me to a healthy color!) Anyway I'm not that terrible, its just that I don't have a look. But I am glad I don't have females like them working in my office because it would be too distracting(sorry sexist joke). I :love: Microsoft and :bob:

Girls have a tendency to lean towards better grooming anyway. You'll notice my photo is of my face only. Fashion for me is going to www.thinkgeek.com and buying a codito ergo sum or will work for bandwidth T-shirt. This morning my wife would not let me leave until she had put some mousse in my hair ( I kid you not ). Her exact words were 'I know the grunge look is in amongst computer programmers, but I'm still married to you'. Christian I have come to clean zee pooollll. - Michael Martin Dec 30, 2001

Please don't bring that up!! :-O I stupidly wrote that in my bio because I didn't think anyone read them. I meant that I liked beautiful women. Anyway I fixed my bio so it doesn't make me sound like an idiot. I :love: Microsoft and :bob:

What a lot of people here will attest to is that I am definitley on the dark side already :) Hence the word "ally" in my original post. I wish there were more management types here on CP, just so that I could bitch and moan to them about the daft developers and their funny habits (e.g. not doing their work.) :-D But your a developer in disguise, aren't you? regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?

I'm afraid to post my picture. Looking at Quomi and Lauren made me realize what a mess I am. I'm 6' and weigh only 135lb, with big thick glassess and my style of dress is a rumpled button up shirt and equally unironed khaki pants. I'm pale as a sheet with a terrible posture. When I looked at everyone's elses photos I noticed they had a very professional appearance, while I'm totally horrible in the fashion department. I guess I just don't have a "look". Maybe I should invest in some outfits instead of buying computer gear.:(( I :love: Microsoft and :bob:
No worries, Martin. One of these days I'm going to post mine; you'll be looking like Prince Charming by comparison:laugh: I still can't decide whether I prefer the buckskins and tomahawk look, or the turban and AK-47 ensemble... Beauty is only skin deep - ugly goes clear to the bone!

Whoops! Sorry, Martin, but I'll have to revise that last post. I just skimmed the first 40 pages or soo of the Who's Who, and all of the ladies present are highly attractive. Better yet, they appear top be quite capable as well. We'll both look fairly lame in comparison, I'm afraid:laugh: And to all of those above who think that an attractive lass in the office is distracting, I can assure you it is not. Having worked many years in a mixed office, I not only was undistracted, but enjoyed the intelligent interaction with all of my teammates, regardless of gender. And the women, to the best of my knowledge, enjoyed the same. There were a few neanderthal males among the crowd, but we all ignored them and had a godd time despite them. Fear not the mixed office - savor, instead, diversity:laugh: Time doesn't play favorites - Figures sag, teeth and hair fall out, the days get longer and the nights colder for all. In the end, all you have are your love and your knowledge - share both widely!

mine isn't very professional or attractive. it's actually a little scary. :) -c

I think style is totally an internal thing. Very "attractive" people seem a lot less attractive when you see them be selfish, mean, or bitchy. Likewise, people that don't fit into the conventional sense of "attractive" begin to look more attractive when you are exposed to their other attributes (intelligent, compassionate, creative). Unless you are using CP to market yourself, what does it matter if you look professional? That said, if your appearance still bothers you...change it.

My husband helps me do my hair and pick out my clothes. Sometimes if he has to get to work early I have my 7 year old help me. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
