The Cutting Edge:

So over the weekend my coworker got a hair cut. From the front it looked really cute. I complimented her, and she gave me a rather flat look in response. Upon probing as to the reason for her obvious annoyance with her hair I discovered that what looked nice from the front was, well, not-so-hot in back. Kind of like a mullet, only the back wasn't no party! Poor thing. Whoever cut her hair had cut a wedge out of it at the nape of her neck. Unfortunately her hair is short enough that to properly fix her hair requires growing it out for a bit, but I told her that I could at least help to even out the area so it wasn't such a blatant mistake. 

Hope began to shine in her eyes... and I pulled out a pair of scissors to restyle the back of her hair. And in case you were asking yourself, "Wait, you're at an office; were you using paper scissors to cut her hair?" the answer is yes. *Shrug* I do what I can! There are two other girls in that office, and they offered their input as to how best fix her hair. Just as I was proceeding to snip away, the president of our company walked in the room. Great. He stopped, looked a little confused, asked if I was using paper scissors, shook his head, and walked out laughing. Well, Frank was the first of many who came in and laughed in the two minute time frame that it took to remedy my coworker's poor hair problem. It was certainly an interesting couple of minutes! 

Ever since, I have had the funniest desire to watch Edward Scissors Hands...
