Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

[TimberWolf]

What about growing some hideous sideburns like Wolverine from x-men?

[chef]

clean cut & shaved with favourite suit, polished shoes to ensure I feel the part

apply plenty of after sun tonight.. dont worry about the suntan/red face

"enjoying the outdoors with my family/spouse/gf while I have had the time" would be my reason/excuse if asked, either way it's not a modelling competition, you loo respectable and by the time the contract is sorted the red face would have gone..

very best of luck

Oh dear.

<--- See that. That's me, that is. All pink about the face. And arms. And legs, feet, neck, ears...

That luvverly day in Bournemouth yesterday has had consequences. The sunburn has started to peel. So I'll be going to the interview with a peeling face. That can't be good surely?

I shall claim "Using the laptop in the garden on WiFi while learning Python", I think.

Or how about "It takes me six hours to cut the grass on my country estate"?

Or shall I stick to the truth: I went to the seaside and got sunburned? But I just know what some smart-arse permie will say: "But as a PM, surely you should have thought ahead, done a risk assessment and mitigated the risk by using sun-cream?" At which point Security will be called and I shall be escorted from the building for slapping someone who needed it.

I wonder what I'll look like, all pink but white-lined round the edges and chin when I have my haircut & shave?

OK sunburn not good if you are going to shave it all off. You need to apply vinegar solution to tone it down a bit (stick a soaked teatowel over your face) then use moisturiser. Maybe you went for a long, bracing walk in the countryside?

Voodooflux - I wear it well

Best of luck Richard.

Buy some fake tan and plaster that on the face tonight....then talk with a mumbai accent....

[TiroFijo]

Interview, tomorrow (13th) afternoon, London, IT services provider, project management, 77% of the rate I was last on.

Hoo-blinking-ray!

Big decision 1: haircut, or pony tail?

How long you been benched

How long you been bencged?

Big decision 2: shave, or beardy weirdy?

Congrats and good luck!

1) He's got sunburn and needs a shave
2) You want him to rub vinegar into his skin

Oh for heavens sake I'm supposed to be going out. MILD solution. I tried it and it helped.
Or just stick to the moisturiser.
