Please Kids, Don't try this at home....

The situation:
Our intrepid graphic designer has been sent to Florida - a land of temperature extremes and golf greens. She has held hands, and wrung hands, and only bitten the hand off one person, but they really had it coming.
She's worked three 16 hour days, and she's really rather cooked.
She is Phat, and over exposed to the evil ball of fire for her pastey taste.

She finds, on the third day, she has an event to attend at night, which requires she to get gussied up. OK, she thinks, we're cool - I have the dress and the shoes. Win! Let's just take a shower and shave and get the grinning over with.

And it is at this point she realizes she didn't bring a razor.
It has been 4 days since she's shaved.
Both dresses she has to choose from are sleeveless.

So, does she:

a) Not shave, and risk giving the fashionista police (coworkers) bait.

B) Not shave and refuse to care.

iii) Go to the front desk/gift store and see if they happen to have a razor kicking around (costing precious minutes she doesn't have.)

4) Realize she has a brand spanking new package of 15 razor-sharp exacto blades in her bag from the day's event....




a) no, they don't need anything to encourage them.

B) No, because I'd worry anyway.

iii) would take to long to get re-dressed and walk all the way to the main lodge.

4) You have guessed correctly.



I have a whole new appreciation for men who use a straight razor.

To my credit, a) only did the pits, and b) I didn't once cut, even nick myself, though I do have to say the whole thing would have been a lot easier with a third arm...


AND!
I'm never, ever, ever doing that again as long as I can help it.

Eek!

I would think that shaving safely with an exacto would take longer
than the gift shop run to get a bic.

You are a madwoman. And we luv you, OCD and all.

O_O

Dear god.

You are more bad-ass than I will EVER hope to be.

*bows low*

I'm suddenly very worried for you and everyone within a 2 block radius... just saying

What, no sharp sheath knife with you?

Had to fly down here, my friend - they frown upon such things on planes these days. :)
