Whoopdiyadda!

Day One of the Annual State Audit is now finished and, actually, it was not too painful. If you can say that being stuck in a small conference room with about 35 people answering questions about Grievance Policies and Procedures and Assessing Services. w00t!

You know how sometimes when you're in a position like that or in a lecture or meeting or something your mind starts wondering? Well, mine was on a frickan' vacation most of the day! I couldn't help it. There was a bald woman there and she was one of those people who feel the need to talk a lot (in the spirit of participation) but she was bald. Not on purpose bald either...just bald and I tried, really tried, to not let that make me lose concentration. I mean, I'm a grown up, I should be able to deal. But I became fascinated by her. She was almost completely bald. She had two very wispy light whiffs of hair on each side of her head that I could see right through and, I swear, she had styled these. As if it made a difference. I couldn't help wondering why. I mean, she had maybe ten hairs on her whole head, what was the point of the hair-do? Why didn't she just embrace her baldness? Bald chicks are in these days so I don't know....

It was distracting. I am an immature dork but, seriously, I was two feet away from her in a crowded room with a ton of people faced with the drone of auditors for 7 hours. Tell me you wouldn't have had a difficult time paying attention. She was bald for cripes sake!!
