I don't shower every day (more by circumstance than by choice), and I don't wash my hair every time I shower. My hair is much nicer if I only wash it a couple times a week.
Suddenly, tho' I feel like I'm the skanky Buffista.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Burrell, you aren't the skanky Buffista at all! (BTW did you get my email?)
If the storm is bad, you can blame Jesse for taunting it.
I love washing my hair each day and feel ick if I don't. That's a me issue though and not a grooming expecation for others.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, that's Jesse. You're the musky Buffista. I'm the OCD-and-bleeding Buffista.
We should get t-shirts.

I only wash my hair twice a week. Not only has it made my hair healthier, but it means the color isn't getting stripped out constantly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I bet I'm skankier than Burrell. But out here, water is at a premium, and there is just no humidity, so no sweaty nasty feeling.

Sorry about that. Pre-interview hysteria.
No worries. I quoted back the wrong part, and my text read like I was being a jackass.
The nice lady would like a writing sample, so I think I made it to the next round.
The next round is good. Like pirates and chocolate and Hugh Laurie.
I swear to god, I would never leave my house during winter. I would huddle in a fetal position in front of a fire for four months.
Well, I'm gonna try to get out of here before the snow starts so I can pick up a case of beer and not leave the house for a couple of days.
I'm keeping my eye on the Doppler radar from the news building down the block.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not skanky! Or stanky, neither. Just because I choose to reject the bizarre modern-US standards of "cleanliness"!

If I only had a brain...
I just got scolded, quite rightly, for an inadequate status report.
Now I need to write weekly status reports, the real kind that say how much progress I made on each project, with details. The kind that lets people check up on me.
I HATE that.

Well, I'll go 3 days or so between actual shampoos, but I've found a shower the night before only lasts me halfway through the next day even using Ivory Soap. Freezing for a bit would be preferable to that icky grungy feeling.
Right there with you, Betsy. Did I not make it clear to these people that my college-tested method of goofing off and then doing all the work the night before works just fine?
