Congratulations on Shaving Your Face!



It's been a rough few months.  First, your dog died.  Then, your wife left you.  After a while, your kids stopped talking to you.  Well, they're babies, so they weren't talking to you in the first place, but they sort of just stopped acknowledging your presence in a more general sense.  Most recently, you lost your apartment and had to move in at a local homeless shelter.  So you can't really be blamed for not shaving.

But your social worker did right by you and found you a job interview, so it's time for you to stop lollygagging and start lolly-opposite-of-gagging, and damned if you don't know it: today you're going to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and shave.

It'll be an epic process.  You won't have shaved since Scribbers died, so you'll need to hack through layers of beard before you finally reach the sub-beard level that is razor appropriate.  By the time you're done you'll have ruined a pair of scissors and dulled three disposable razor blades, but your shorn face will glisten in the mirror of your communal bathroom.  The sink below you will look like someone's nightmare, wherein a collection of hamsters turned themselves inside out after eating a pile of human hair, but your face will be straight up gorgeous.

Tomorrow, when you walk into your job interview, the woman meeting you will immediately bite her lip.

"Hi," she'll moan into her hand.

"Hello," you'll tell her, sliding your resume over to her.

What ensued will be a combination job interview/porn plot line.  When you're done, you'll have the job, so long as you stay shorn, and sexually service your new boss on a bi-daily basis.

"If you slip up, I'll fuck you in the ass.  Then fire you," she'll announce to you atop a pile of W2s and clothing.

You'll nod, thank her politely, and ask if you could crash at her place for a while.  She'll politely decline.

"I don't mix my work life and my home life," she'll murmur, pointing to the ring around the fourth finger of her left hand.

Congratulations on Shaving Your Face!
