The Things I do at work

This is something that was done in the past, to help my employees through the rougher times. More of this kind of stuff is sure to come, as here is a brief slice of my life. This was sent out to the staff, after an inital poll.

Re: Officer VanSomeren’s Hair


Effective soon:

Due to an office poll, and my daughters complaining about Daddy’s beard, I may be looking to change my appearance somewhat.
Yesterday, a poll was held in which members of Team 4 were to select a hair and beard style in which YOU felt would suit me best. Well, you answered in record numbers. There was an overwhelming amount of you who voted for a "Paul with hair, and no beard." While I appreciate your input, I cannot in good conscience ignore the others, who nearly begged me to keep shaving my head. Therefore…
I will be continuing to shave my head, but as of this weekend, the beard will be gone. For all of your benefits, I have decided to compromise. Some of you will still see the bald head, which you know and love, while others will appreciate my non caveman-like baby-face.
It was the only decision that I could make which would benefit all parties involved.

• Please bear with me next week, as I’ll miss my beard. Trying days are ahead.


• I’ll now be shaving both my face and head with a BIC. Please don’t laugh if I cut my head up due to a dull blade.
  


• Fear not ladies, you’ll get used to it!
  


• I will have pictures of the bald/bearded Paul available for your comfort if things become too hard to deal with.
  

Thank you all for your patience.
