Oy! You're that Vincent Van Gogh fella!

[danieldwilliam]

Today I resemble Vincent Van Gogh.

What a struggling artist with ginger tendencies from an ethnic background that includes glotteral stops as a feature not a bug,  with a  love of sunflowers, a failed relationship with a prostitute, a history of mental health issues and one ear?

Not quite.

I have managed to cut myself badly, shaving badly, on the ear. 

Few things in my experience degrade one's abilty to have impact in a meeting or absorb new knowledge than blood streaming down your neck from a painless but embarrassingly promonent self-inflicted injury. It's right up there with discovering half way to work that you've put on a pair of your wife's panties by mistake.
