Tuesday, February 01, 2005 in two parts
Yesterday may have been the nerdiest day of my life--in my life of one damn nerdy day after another. It was nerdier than the day in middle school when I went to the statewide geography bee. It was nerdier than the day of regret and crushing disappointment after I answered "USSR" when I should have said "Russia" in the final round, and was sent home with an inflatable globe and a totebag.
First I worked in the morning, and that was fine. Smile, smile, sweep, sweep. I'm good at my job. I booked some appointments. I do that.
Then I got my hair cut, and that was nice. I'm like 8% cuter now, so that's good. The homeless are sure to appreciate that. Then I accosted a client as she sat in a beauty chair, waiting for her stylist to mix up her hairdye. I went up to this woman, and I said, "Excuse me, do you have a weblog?" I'd recognized her name when I booked her appointment, and at the time, it seemed reasonable to say hi.
It was only later, when I came home and told my housemates what I'd done, and they'd laughed and laughed at me, did I realize that it might not have been "weirder not to say anything."
I have to go to work now. I'll write about the rest of my nerdy day later.
