this discourse reminded me of another great mentoring moment from a veteran to a wanna-be rookie: - Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob. I like this. I'm going to answer my SI questions along similar lines. "Well, I've gotta take'em one decision at a time. I'm just happy to be here and hope I can help an agency. I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, I may actually get a few decisions right." God help me if they ask me what I believe in...

I had long hair in Law School and during my time with the State. I cut my hair to interview for the Agency. Now my hair is past my shoulders again and all one length. You don't see too many of us with long hair; plus I wear two diamond ear rings.
My advice, clean cut or very neatly trimmed for the interview and once you are in the door; go crazy.

Just as an update, though you may have grown weary of my personal hygeine reports, I shaved the beard this weekend. As someone mentioned, having had it for the past two years, i was surprised to see i no longer have to worry about looking like a 12 year old. Gravity is a mother-in-law. On the upside, my wife and a couple people in my office agree that I look more professional. Downside, I feel naked and am obsessively touching my face. Maybe that will go away between now and my mid-september SI. If not, I may grow back at least a neatly trimmed van d**e.
