I'm not sure if this tidbit is true or not. If it is, my brothers will be very upset. I grew up with with three older brothers and I loved reading their comics. Although I don't think I'd be interested in reading them now.
Today I froze my buns off at work. I could'nt wait to use my blow dryer just to keep warm. I had fantastic clients today. They made me laugh my head off. I love that about my clients. I really have a good time with them. Well, most of them.
The holiday season is a very busy time. Everyone wants to get all "prettied up". I had a client that really ticked me off today. I noticed her name three times in my appointment book. I thought it was a bit strange and maybe she rescheduled and someone forgot to erase the other appointments. I called her and asked her when she was coming in. The conversation went something like this:
Me, "I was wondering what date you were coming in on, as you are booked in three times in the next few weeks."
Client, "Actually I have four appointments. I'm not sure of my schedule and I want my hair done for the holidays. I wanted to make sure I had an appointment."
note: I did not notice the fourth appointment!
Me, (enunciating each word slowly) "So you only really want one appointment, you just don't know when?"
Client, (sounding sweet and chipper) "Yeah."
Me, (laughing sarcastically) "Heh."
Client, "Oh, are you getting full? Um, could I call you back closer to the dates I'm not quite sure."
Me, (smoke puffing out of my ears) "Well, it's not fair to my other clients when you are taking up so many of my appointment times. Especially during prime times."
Client, "Oh reallllyyyy? Well, let me recheck some things and I'll call you back. O.K.?"
Me, "To be fair I'll give you until this Thursday when you have your first appointment. After that you are SOL."
Client, "Ha, you're so funny. I'll call you back."

FUNNY! Are you kidding me. You can't appointment hog. I hate that. I also hate parking hogs. This happens alot on my street. There are a few neighbours that I call "spot hoggers". Now I have to deal with "appointment hoggers" at work. Sheesh. All is not good with the Sharon.
