Mmmm, the smell of burnt hair
The only flagrant lie I think I've heard in the recent past is "laser hair removal is painless." That is a complete falsehood. Granted, it isn't as bad as getting something pierced or scraped, but I still feel "painless" is still very inaccurate. Should you decide to have it done, just realize that the amount of pain is directly proportional to the amount of hair you have in the area covered by a single laser pulse... ergo, the tissue surrounding my hairy anus is a weeee bit tender at the moment. The other thing they don't really make obvious is the fact it really takes about a week to ten days for the hair to actually fall out. So for the next several days there's going to be a lot of exfoliating and scrubbing of my back and ass to promote the hair leaving.
Today I also made the first step toward getting back in touch with my professors at ASU. I'm sick of my job. I want to return to full-time-student-hood. While I totally realize that I won't be making the oodles of money I'm making now, I will be a fuck of a lot happier. Corporate America has a way of getting to me like no other. It isn't that the academia is some wonderful place, it's more that it doesn't make me sick to my stomach with stupid menial bullshit day in and day out. I used to read Dilbert. I don't anymore. Why? Because I can fucking witness it first hand. With some student loans and a TA-ship I would be totally set. I just need to find a way to swing getting a small place for myself within the proximity of the campus and my needs will be covered.
Tons of money? I'd gladly trade it for the ability to wake up past 10am and be able to exercise my brain again.
Fuck you corporate America. Fuck you eCommerce. Your kind of neat software development. I'm out!
