Oh What A Day!

Man oh man. I didn’t even that the strength to post yesterday…sigh. I’d better get some coffee before I dive it.

SO..Yesterday was a brand new day. Mental health-wise, spiritually, I just kind of shook it off and charged in yesterday and I was happy and proud of myself for being able to do so. We got to work early to do the group photo and yes. My book was clear until like 4pm. I went with PseudoSis2 and developed photos and got coffee and hummed that one line of Cross Canadian Ragweed’s song that’d been rolling around in my brain all morning. Back at work and HALLA!!! Appointments! The wife of a guy I graduated with, who I’ve gotten to know over the summer and just adore. It was fun! I had a new client who had requested an upper level stylist for cut and color…

long story short, she is a head case. her hair is naturally curly so only she can fix it. that’s fine. people know their hair. Me, having never seen this woman (pronounced crazy bitch)before, isn’t probably going to “do” it just right the first time. well, we had a 20 minute consult. I did the hair. she had zero personality. she was rude. aloof. I could tel she was nervous. but it was a self fulfilling prophecy…she came in decided and determined to NOT like anything and for everything to go terribly wrong.

She screamed at me. she lunged forward in her chair and shoved a picture (which her fucking hair was the exact color of) in my face. I kept my cool. I did. My next client was another friend, and it was just a blow out, so I went over and transferred her to another girl, and when I was telling her…yep. just started bawling. fuckfuckfuck.

SO I went back, mixed up more stuff, did her hair a second time, shampooed it out using different stuff, gave HER the products and tools and let her style it…she asked for my manager…still hated it. She’s coming in at 8:30 today for Round Three…

I can only do what I can do. I’m trying to remain sympathetic and know that this woman clearly has more going on underneath that curly hair than her need to scream at me about hair color.

Pray for me people. I’m gonna need something to get a smile on my face…because yesterday I just wanted to eat some bleach.

HOWEVER….Ta Daaaaa!!! The day ended with a client that I adore. Sweet little pre-med college student that I’ve had since he was a freshman. we laughed. we plotted. we hugged it out. it was a great way to end a crappy day. Blessings in disguise.

THE BEST NEWS still?

I got cast in Love Song!!!! Performances are February 19 – March 13, 2010 so rehearsals will begin after the holidays which makes me soooooo happy! This is a funny role. I’m in love with the script and will get to meet some new people. Wahoo!!!

Ok. Gotta gulp more coffee and get into the shower. Miss Precious Perfect…Third time’s the charm, right?
