- Unscripted -
(The Diary Of Horace Wimp - ELO)
In case it hasn't been said, I work with Princess Pumpernickel. If you don't remember who PP is, you should check this out.
Anyway, there's a great deal of speculation that abounds about how PP and I haven't been fired yet because of some of our e-mail conversations. This is... no exception. This is also the introduction of someone we shall call the FBI, in honor of Wen Spencer's excellent Ukiah Oregon books. Don't wake the sleepers.
The catalyst for this little exchange was a vendor that was giving the FBI a hard time. And I'm very bald, by the way.
Earlier, in a group e-mail...
FBI: I expect <Problem Vendor> to be a problem until Steven grows a ponytail.
PP: Steven is too cool for a ponytail. He just brings up his back hair and puts it in a man-bun.
ME, after a considerable delay, because I was actually doing work that day: I'm just now reading all of these messages and the urge to get <Photoshop-Handy Friend> to either photoshop me with a ponytail or even more epic levels of back hair is almost overwhelming. Almost.
PP: Why do you need Photoshop? I've seen your back.
ME: Well, if we're talking about making a present for FBI, something to really give her a warm fuzzy, I was thinking more Marge Simpson on the hair rather than Elvis Presley. That would require a little digital enhancement. ...Or extensions. I wonder if they make back hair extensions. (Googles that.) (...Regrets that decision.)
