What Did You Do Today? What are you doing today?

[Hill lover35]

Three weeks ago, she asks me which straightener I use, and I told her the brand and which sales rep to order it from. She flat out said to me that her client was coming in before it would arrive and tells me that she'll just use mine. I told her that I only had half of one, and I might need it.....when her client came in, she went to my locker and got it out and had the gall to ask me how to use it.
Two weeks ago, I came in and noticed my locker was open, so I closed it and went to greet my first client. My co worker comes in and asks me if I found the money she put in my locker because she had to use a few colors over the weekend.....I said no, I didn't see any money. She did put money in the locker, but I had to "make" the correct shade for my client, because mine had been used over the weekend. So, I put a note in the locker explaining why it is important to ask before taking my supplies..... This brings us up to the story that I told earlier.
After I put the locks on the locker, she sends me a sort of hateful text asking if I have anything I need to say to her......I tell her once again how I'm not her personal supply house and that I felt disrespected because she just keeps helping herself to my stuff. So she goes and tells another co worker that I reamed her out and all she did was ask if I was okay.
Seriously, you can't make this sh*t up.......

Wow how stupid. You should have told her to stop being so cheap and buy her own supplies.

 

[Hill lover35]

Yes, I pay a weekly booth rent, and am responsible for buying all my own supplies. I only order what I use for my own clients.
....and yes, I feel like she was essentially stealing from me

Can you go,to the owner of the salon? You u did the right thing by putting locks on

Both the owner and the manager are aware and fully support my decision about the locks.

What a day....


6am-woken up by gleeful 2 year old wanting a glass of milk and to watch cartooons with me. Who can resist that face? I decided to take the hit and let His mom sleep in. 20 minutes later, said two year old is back asleep with his head buried in my side. Oh well, I've had mornings that started off a helluva lot crappier than this. I'll take it.

7am-Sleepy mom finds sleeping 2 year old with me on the couch and gives me a smile I could very happily wake up to every day and tells me she thinks the two year looks as content as she's ever seen him. A kiss and a hug later she's headed back to bed saying it looks like I've got things handled.

8:30am-Time to get the show on the road, big day of chores planned.

9:00am-Can't seem to find motivation to get off the couch with 2 year old. Very comfortable.

9:30am-Ok, time to get up for real.

10am-Everyone else ready to go, time to roust 13 year old boy from bed....unsuccessful

10:30am-Finally able to wake up 13 year old, no audible talking with him, just mumbles and head off to shower.

11:00am-Stop by Lowe's to return some fencing items we didn't need. 2 year old has a meltdown when his mom walks into the store without him leaving him in the truck. Apparently he still thinks she disappears when he can't see her...lol

11:30am-aren't storage unit for upcoming shipment of girlfriend's belongings that are being shipped here from Pennsylvania. My attempts to help her pay for this storage unit are unsuccessful and my life is threatened if I don't put my debit card back in my wallet. This woman is Arkansas stubborn and independent.

12pm-Lunch at Red Robin. 13 year old is beginning to wake up after large coke and a burger. 2 year old has another meltdown when mom goes to the bathroom. Forgot how funny and berserk toddlers can be.

1pm-School clothes shopping at Kohls. 13 year old begs to not go shopping enough times where I tell him to zip it. Girlfriend is so much better at picking out clothes that look nice on him than I am. She also has kohls reward card. Saves me around $65 overall. Thanks babe.

3pm-I take everyone to see Cars 3. 13 year old promptly falls asleep during opening credits. 2 year old spends the next 90 minutes repeating the words "Lightning McQueen" approximately 5000 times but has a blast. 13 year old wakes up approximately 5 minutes before movie ends.

5:00pm- Sam's Club, grocery shopping. 2 year old falls asleep somewhere in the 5 block drive from the theater to the store. Girlfriend asks how we're going to do this. Never fear my lady, ghost packed the stroller into the SUV this morning. I get a kiss and a "good thinking baby." Girlfriend then proceeds to look at EVERY item in Sam's Club....twice. I'm had enough shopping today to last the rest of the year. Think about mentioning this to girlfriend then don't because it ain't my first rodeo.

7pm-a very tired 3 people arrive back at home. Meanwhile 2 year old's batteries are completely recharged from a 2 hour nap. Unbelievable.

9pm-13 year old back asleep because he's actually a vampire I think.

10pm-2 year old mercifully passes out beside his mom. As I watch his mom about to pass out with him she tells me thanks for very nice day and that she loves me.

10:15pm-I sit back to contemplate how much this woman and her son mean to me now. I'll take being dog tired after this kind of day any day over her not being here.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

This sounds like a very disrespectful person and a real troublemaker to boot - you did the right thing by locking your locker - good for you!

As one of the Three Stooges used to say "The noive!"

 

[Neesy]

Famous last words last night: "And now we're getting power-flicker interruptions. I'm going to avoid the elevators."

I stayed in the club room a while after that, gnoshing (gnocching?), reading news on the computer, checking social media, and enjoying the occasional sip. The happy hour was extended, possibly due to the typhoon hitting the island or maybe the troublesome American who was using the club room attendants as travel agents to book his flight out, and they accommodated him with patience and courtesy.

Finally, time to head back to the room. Or past time. I take my dishes to the nice young ladies, who act surprised and pleased every time I do that, and by reflex head out of the room and over to the bank of elevators.

You can see what's coming, right? Don't pretend otherwise.

These elevators are pretty cool. You hit the button, and the one that's going to pick you up immediately lets you know with a sound and a light. You stand by, and as the elevator is within a few seconds of opening, the light starts flashing. It's kind of like the traffic lights outside. They give you a countdown for when they're going to change, both for cars and pedestrians. It's quite thoughtful.

Anyway. The doors open up, I get on, push the button to my room and once again don't bother to push the "close door" button because the doors really do start to close as soon as you make your selection, and we're on our merry way.

For about five seconds. Then it comes to a sudden stop.

My thoughts immediately flash to when I wrote that I would be avoiding the elevators tonight, and right behind that, my mouth flashes to voice the natural reaction to what is now happening, and I don't remember the words precisely, but it was on the order of RUFKM, with gusto.

The panel is dead. I push the button for my floor. Nothing. Well, just become something doesn't work doesn't mean you don't keep trying. But no, nothing. Not for any floor.

I wait. Maybe it's just a hiccup in the power, and it'll start again in a few seconds. But it doesn't. But the lights are still on in the elevator car, so I got that going for me.

I put my shoulder bag of gear down and wait. Then I get bored. I'm looking around. Nothing. Now, I'm pretty sure that the elevator isn't hermetically sealed, but still, I don't see any obvious vents, and with no promise of getting out soon, I realize it's kind of warm and stuffy in here.

Well.... maybe the elevator got stopped at a floor. Worth a try, says the guy who's not exactly thinking ahead. I see if the elevator doors will pull open, and indeed they do, to a solid wall of mechanical-looking stuff. I try to close the doors again, but it's a lot easier opening them than closing them. I vaguely wonder if I'll get in trouble for my efforts.

I'm hearing beeps and boops that I'm used to from waiting for elevators. So something's working out there. But not with my car.

I look at the panel again. Just solid buttons, no lights, but there is a button that has a bell on it. I tap it. Nothing for a few seconds. Then some electronically distorted voices come on. We had an interesting conversation for about 10 or 15 seconds, with them saying something I wasn't understanding, and me saying something like, "I only speak English," which apparently was something they didn't understand. Well, I'm in their country. What do you expect?

Nothing's happening soon, so I sit down next to the bag and close my eyes. It's kind of late, and now I'm wondering if I'm going to spend the night in there. Why didn't I bring my travel toothbrush with me? Who am I kidding. Where would I spit?

The doors starts opening up to a half dozen concerned young men in jackets and ties, and what do you know, I am actually stuck about three feet above floor level. They're saying stuff, but the only thing I'm really catching is, "Sorry!!!" In my shirt, tie, and computer bag state, I accept their help jumping down. Well, in their kindness to the elderly, they kind of let me float to the floor.

They're apologizing, and I'm smiling and waving it off with things like, "You can't help what happens during a typhoon." I head to the stairway. One guy splits away and offers to escort me to the elevator to my floor, but I say, "I'll take the stairs, thanks." He follows me up, chatting the whole way, apologizing for half the chat, and I'm pretty much saying, "I'm fine. Hey, it's a typhoon. Don't worry about it."

In the cold light of the morning, writing this, the typhoon hypothesis becomes suspect. Yes, we had wind and rain last night along with a couple power-flickers, but the lights in the elevator stayed on, I heard the sounds of other elevators working, and I now suspect I just got treated to a mechanical failure.

In thinking about it, what were the chances of having the elevator car stop on me within an hour of me writing, "I'll avoid the elevators"? In thinking about it a little more..... probably pretty good.

That was a good story - I was reading it when my coworker pooped in to the Tube Room and therefore I got interrupted but was looking forward to finishing it later - so got a Starbucks and a peanut butter cookie and then came back to read the rest

Oh wow this dumb autocorrect just changed popped to pooped

I'm not sure what it is to be honest. I can't remember it's been so long since there was any sense of normalcy at all in my life. I know there was at one time, I remember being content a long time ago but then the storm came and lasted a long time. I remember doing normal things as a family a long time ago but it seems like a lifetime ago now. This may be what turning the corner is supposed to be like I guess. And thank you for the kind words ma'am, they're appreciated greatly.

....I think that may be a bit premature at this point, but I'm sure the thought has crossed his mind(what little he has).....
