First World Problems and why my day just sucks monkey ass.

I have a client the I adore. He's sweet, doesn't complain, has a great sense of humor.
He has a wife that is cute as a freakin' bug and she became a client, too.
"Oh! You do hair! My stylist moved to Florida. Let me make an appointment."

That was about 4 months ago. Went to her, she didn't do what I asked, but it was acceptable.
Went again today with new pictures that I hoped would get across what I wanted more clearly.
It's awful.

Did I say that she and her husband are clients? Good ones? Yeah. I'm stuck with her and her awful hair cutting skills.

I was starving when I left. Nothing to bring for lunch, so stuck with fast food. Ran through the Arby's drive-thru just to get a small 'beef' sandwich. GROSS! GROSS! GROSS!!!1! I now have a stomach ache and will probably not be able to get that disgusting taste out of my mouth for 3 days.

THEN!!! The husband's drummer posted a reminder on FB: "We'll be playing at 'Shithole Bar' Friday! (not the real name of the bar) Me: "Wait, the husband said you were playing at 'Fun, Fun Bar with Awesome Bartender'?" (not the real name of the bar).
Nope, apparently the husband has once again proven that he can't remember shit and just because the two bars are next door to each other the names are interchangeable.

So, my fun, fun weekend just crashed and burned. I have a crappy haircut that makes me look like a redheaded chipmunk. And, I have stomach ache and a taste in my mouth that makes me think they use used gym socks for seasoning at Arby's.

Hold me.

He won't play there anymore 'cuz he doesn't like carrying his piano up the stairs.

I have some Pumpkin Spice Febreze at home. It'll put me in a Halloween mood!

At my age, knit caps aren't the latest rage. They're to cover up bald spots and thinning hair. Maybe I'll just wear a cat on my head.

...that shows up randomly that will carry his keys around and up stairs for him. It's my ex-boyfriend.

He's too random, though.

Yeah, I'd look great in that hat.

If you ever HAVE TO go for fast food again, go for their Reuben sandwich (and
not no TURKEY "Reuben" neither).
.
They're really good... and not as in "for fast food". They're actually pretty good
for a Reuben from anywhere.
.
I may be giving away a secret here but, as musicians, our favorite places to
play -- by far -- were shithole bars.
.

And you should be able to talk your way out of your hair frightmare -- tell
her you now HAVE TO go get your hair done by your "niece" (who's having
financial troubles) or something.

I know my favorite places to see musicians is in shithole bars...when you're in a shithole bar you can tell when the band is really hot and getting into their gig...makes warm beer and lousy food all OK.

But, I got sick of it. Plus, I was so devastated by the hair that I wanted to punish myself further by force feeding myself a meat like substance that tasted like dirty socks.

Unfortunately, I break out in hives when I hear country music.

I did make it through the entire thing, though. Nice song. Thank you, Denninmi!

I do not have enough hair for a ponytail, and if I did I would not wear it like that. I would pull it back and clip it with a fun barrette. Possibly a funky butterfly or my long lost Harley one. Dragonflies are cool, too. Not pink ones.

Geez.

Nothing makes you feels worse than a bad haircut.

My long time stylist retired and I'm in search of a new stylist. It's painful, but some people can cut (my) hair and some can't. Took me four years to find my former stylist.

Unfortunately, I have no advice on how to gently tell your client/stylist you don't want her to cut your hair any more. But you gotta do it.
