The other day, I was working at my computer at home. I was sweating, and my face was only half-shaved. Why? I = me = myself = ISH | ||

Were you sweating because it was hot? Or were you sick? Or scared? Was your computer working? Was your face shaved on one side? Were you interrupted while shaving? did the shaving equipment fail? Relevant how you shave? Did the power go out? | ||

Was it summer? Is your house normally air conditioned? Did your computer overheat? Did you intentionally shave only half your face? Did you realize you'd only shaved half your face? Did you still have shaving cream on your face? Was anyone home besides you? Relevant what your job is? What you were working on? | ||

Did you take a break while shaving? Was there something wrong with your air conditioner? Did it go wrong while you were shaving? Is what you're doing to the computer related to the reason why it's so hot? Will it result in it becoming colder? | ||

Did you stop shaving because you were interrupted? Because you realized you needed to do something? Work on the computer? Because you ran out of something? There was something wrong with your razor or other shaving equipment? You shave in the shower and the hot water ran out? You just wanted half a face of stubble? | ||

Did something about the act of shaving remind you of what you needed to do? Could you have done it before you started shaving? After you had finished all the way? Is your razor battery powered? Rechargeable? Did what you had to do have anything to do with the heat? With your razor's power level? | ||

Was the air conditioner off to: save electricity? Not make noise? Would you rather not have shaved at all? Are you videoconferencing? Or otherwise visible to other people? | ||

A doorbell? knocking? this the opening or closing of a gate? a garage door? Or is it a FA that the person was arriving from outside? no Is the person HAM? F? HA, gender irrel Toddler? Someone you're trying to avoid? Or surprise? No to rest Someone who lives in your house? Someone arriving to visit? Someone arriving to perform a service? Someone delivering something? this one A neighbor? Someone passing, but not entering, your house? It's well enough for a... ***********SPOILER************** I was working at home that day because I was expecting an important work-related delivery (bought it off E-bay on a personal account, and had forgotten to use work address). The delivery required a signature, so it was important that I answer the door. Unfortunately, I live in an older house that (1) has no doorbell, and (2) has window unit air conditioners that are particularly loud. The home office is in the back of the house, so I need it to be quiet in order to listen for knocking. Thus, although it is a hot summer day, I turn off the noisy air conditioners, and after an hour or so, I am sweating lightly. I also tend to shave with my electric shaver while doing something else. In this case, I decided to shave while working at my computer. Midway through the shave, I realized it was too loud for me to hear the door, so I turned it off, resulting in a half-shave. I felt rather foolish during the whole event, and imagined I would look quite silly to my wife when she got home. Fortunately, the delivery man arrived first. |
