    Couple of new starts today:
    Nov 1 - start of Movember
    New Sprint starting at work. Bonus: I got everything I was supposed to get done in the last sprint.
    New henchman starting to help me out with some of the things I’ve got on my plate.

      We need something other than Movember for people who do not have the appropriate facial hair to be included. I propose Mowvember for those interested in lawn care, Moovember for dairy and cattle farmers, Movember for removalists and Noember for firefighters.

        Inappropriate facial hair is the entire point. It is supposed to look terrible. The idea is to spark conversation so you can talk about the massive issues that the cause is all about. IT’s a bit of a pity that moustaches are effectively ‘back’ - when I first did movember, nobody who hadn’t sported a moustache for 50 years had one. They were remarkable in and of themselves.

        It’s all a little too mainstream as well. People all know what movember is and it’s more difficult to get people interested than it used to be.

          I remember doing Movember back in the late 00’s. It was cool seeing all the ugly staches knowing 95% were participating.

          You’re right that it’s a pity moustaches are back. They look good on very few people and it was more fun when they were movember related.

          Oh well. Still time for Decembeard!!!
