TO BJORK…

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!

The neat folks at Mangroomer.com read my blog.

And as Sally Field would say, “They like me, they really, really like me!”

My titanic ego and shameless self promotion aside, I’ll have to admit, I’m so excited.

Brett, CEO of said enterprise sent me some nifty gifts to try.

Mangroomer is a provider of high quality shaving gear aimed at men.

This stuff’s not for your whiskers boys…this is real Manscaping Material!  And this stuff is really good!

We have the essential ear and nose hair trimmer.

I literally have about six ear and nose hair trimmers, I’ve never really been happy with any of them until now.  I usually use two different ones each day.  No longer, this one does it all.

AWE-SOME!

Then there is the essential Back Shaver.

I have never shaved my back before, and quite frankly, I was a tad apprehensive.  First of all, I couldn’t reach my back. Secondly, I just wasn’t sure I wanted to, and thirdly, I couldn’t reach my back.

But this puppy has and extension handle for easy access.  You can not only shave YOUR back, but the back of the guy in front of you at the football game!  Really, he won’t know what hit him!  Got hairy back, this is your new best friend.  Baby got  hairy back girls, this is YOUR new best friend!

And then, the essential private area shaver.

OK, apprehensive doesn’t begin to cover it, fellas.  I’ve been fond of my chest hair since it came on when I was about 12.  I’m not as metro as I thought I was.  And I remember the shaved patches on my chest from the last stress test, so I compromised.

I trimmed, mowed, “tweaked” if you will…but alas, I did not shave.  Thank goodness the essential private shaver is “adjustable”.  Very handy!  Just so you’ll know, not cuts, no nicks, no 911 calls, no EMTs, all went well!

I’d show ya’ but, well, that would be TMI, now wouldn’t it?

The only negative I can think of is that since I’m a pretty fuzzy guy, clean up was…well, I’m just glad I spent all that money on the Dyson!

Thanks to the folks at Mangroomer, this is good stuff!

I’m thinkin’ stocking stuffers ladies!!

I linked this post up at Fight the Frump Friday at Blissfully Domestic. Go see who else is fighting the frump!

Recently, Yahoo had an article on 5 ways to know if you’re a lousy co-worker.

They are:

1. You dump work on people at the last minute.
2. You complain about people without telling them directly what your beefs are.
3. You exude negativity.
4. You bring your personal life to the office in ways that make people feel uncomfortable.
5. You’re chronically defensive.

Well, it got me to thinkin’.

Maybe there’s a reason for all that.

Take the dumping co-worker for instance.  If you hadn’t given me 12 hours of work to do in 8 hours, maybe I’d have gotten it all done, and wouldn’t have to messenger it over to your corner office and interrupt your vacation plans.  After all, my kids play little league too, ya know.

And number 2: Get a grip, if I told you how I really feel, the boss would fire my butt so fast all our heads would spin.  I dump this one in the lap of the PC crowd.  You can’t tell someone they look nice without the threat of a lawsuit.  So, ‘you lazy assed, useless slug’, isn’t only too long to fit on a business card, it’ll get ya fired. 

Moving on to number 3.  Maybe the fact that you’re so darn chipper all the time just pisses me off.  Ever think of that Pollyanna?  You know you hate the boss, board of directors, and everyone who calls into the place, so stop being Pippi Longstockings, quit fakin’ it and let your real feelings rip!

As to my personal life, the “bring your daughter to work day” crowd gets this one.  A room full of future Bella Abzugs is just fine, but let me complain about one little thing in my life, and noooooooooooooooooo, it’s just TMI!

And of course I’m chronically defensive, you pick on me all the time!

What a shame, “Slap A Co-Worker Day” was last month!
