I'm in the Chicago area this week and wound up going someplace I usually avoid. The mall.
It was so cold here yesterday that I couldn't spend much time outside. After as little as two to three minutes, I can feel my airways starting to spasm. If I stay in the cold too long, and even a few minutes can be too long, it will trigger an asthma attack. I prefer to avoid that!
So, I needed to get in some walking and I went to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg. I stopped at a Sharper Image store as I thought, with the name and everything, this could be a good place to find an epilator. They did have them. I wound up getting the cheapest model, the Epilady. I figured if the thing would work for a lady it would surely do the trick for a eunuch.
I was really disappointed when I got back to the hotel, opened the package and read that I'd need to let Epilady charge for 10 hours before using it. So, I let it charge overnight. Before going to class this morning, I had just a few minutes to try it. I'll give give my body a complete treatment tonight.
On the way out, I noticed the store also had Swiss army knives. The Swiss are known for being neutral, although very protective of their own territory. It seemed logical to me that as a now more neutral person, I should have this knife.
Truth is, every time something goes wrong at work where a small tool/knife type thing comes in handy, guys are surprised I don't have a Swiss army knife. Now, I'll be just as prepared as the real men.
