Gentlemen,

I did something yesterday that was as stupid as getting behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated.

I got up and had a 2 hour work related conference call, which got very heated amongst the participants. I left the call angry and distracted. Following which, SWMBO and I had a less that pleasant conversation.

Then I went upstairs to shower and shave. In the frame of mind I was in, I had no business holding a straight razor to my skin. Very bad things can happen even if you are totally on top of your game - but to shave as distracted as I was was imbecilic. I was lucky I did not cut myself.

Part of it was ego and part of it was the hope that it would relax me - which it did. But I could have been relaxing in the ER while getting stitches instead.

I could have gone to work without a shave, and it would have been a lot safer.

Never again!

Yours truly,
David
