POLL: My beard

[poltr1]

As some of you know, I started growing a beard right before Christmas. We had a huge snowstorm, and I stopped shaving. Now that it's spring, I'm considering shaving it off and going clean-shaven again. (Some men grow beards only during the winter.)

This year, I thought it filled in nicely, especially around the chin. The last two times I tried, it never filled in.

There's also what's written in the company's formal dress code, and what gets funny looks according to the prevailing corporate culture. those can be very different things.

*nods* I hate it when companies value image and conformity over technical prowess, integrity, and diversity.

Speaking of dress codes, one of the funniest stories I've heard over the years was that a mainframe computer in some eastern European country would start to spazz out every time the women operators get near. It was traced to the static electricity generated by the womens' nylon undies. Once they switched to cotton, the computer paid no heed.

Honorable mention goes to EDS for having the audacity to tell an interviewee that he was wearing the wrong colored suit. (It was a brown suit.)
