My beloved Sikeith passed into the other realm of life in early June. He will be missed here, but is once again with the loved ones that preceded him and is happier now than he ever could have been here. This event is why I have had such a silent blog and online life lately; I have no clue how to live my life now, online or offline, so I am silent and waiting for some direction. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I want to thank everyone that has messaged, called, visited, prayed, or even silently watched over me over the last several weeks. Thank you all. I have had so much love given to me; love, even from people that I had no clue would be so present for me in this time. I hope that I am worthy and able to return the love and loving sentiments that have been given and expressed to me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am overwhelmed by many things these days but I hope to get back on track soon; what track that may be, I do not know. As usual I have consulted the cards on this issue and have been advised by “the universe” to lay low and just mourn for a time. I think that I will slowly come back to life as some kind of life comes back to me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am taking every opportunity to be social and try to go out whenever anyone asks me to go somewhere or do something in hopes that I will not fall deeper into the abyss of the sadness that consumes my very soul at times. I am also looking for some part time work so that I may create some kind of schedule and order to this new life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks again everybody; I will write more when I find the mind and you all will be rolling your eyes again in no time. </span><br />

I am sorry to have neglected my audience these last few weeks. I know, I know, my life is so interesting and exciting; all two of you must be in utter suspense now.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">Let’s see… firstly I finally got a new cell phone. Yay! It’s a pretty red and black Blackberry flip with a qwerty keypad.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWSSO2KdUOE/SnAKe29_VYI/AAAAAAAAAOg/m6pork5_cR8/s1600-h/211340.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363798681466131842" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWSSO2KdUOE/SnAKe29_VYI/AAAAAAAAAOg/m6pork5_cR8/s320/211340.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;"> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363799219270747026" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWSSO2KdUOE/SnAK-Kcmg5I/AAAAAAAAAOo/XXvggyLrRyQ/s320/211617.jpg" />As you can see, I have already personalized it. I still gotta get used to the keypad; I feel like one of those ‘parents’ in the Sprint commercial; the one with all the statistics that says states how fast teens type texts compared to their parents. I couldn’t find a site to that exact commercial but I ran across this site along the way and it is way cool.<br /><br />http://now.sprint.com/nownetwork/?id9=vanity:nownetwork<br /><br /><br />I went with a friend to this new $1 jewelry store and picked up some new earrings.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363798671655002178" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IWSSO2KdUOE/SnAKeSa1YEI/AAAAAAAAAOY/aZAvIcscgLQ/s320/IMG00047-20090721-2236.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">I don’t care how cheap they are, I just need some hoops since the 80’s are back. And speaking of 80’s fashion, I am so loving the leggings! They are ultra comfy with the right short dress or skirt; now I just have to do more shopping to increase my wardrobe. Yippee!<br /><br />And lastly, something I have fought long to deny… I have been prescribed eyeglasses. It is time now that I must concede to my age so that I may read and see the time on my clocks clearly.<br />I went today to my eye exam which was quite a change since my last exam some fifteen years ago. They did the puffy thing in my eyes as usual but after that I was given some kind of eye drops before another test. Then I went to another room where they did the lens flipping thing until the little letters on the wall came into clear view.<br /><br />After that I was given two more kinds of eye drops and was told to wait a few minutes for them to kick in, and then I would have to do the flippy lens thing again. While I waited, my eyes became more and more sensitive to light, so I put my shades on; then I got a text… oh my goodness… I absolutely could not focus to read! If my arm was about a foot longer, or if I could have laid my phone on a counter to look at it from a distance, I may have been able to read something on the screen. Luckily it was just an ad so no one was waiting on a text back. Anyway, it was a pretty strange experience and it wore off after a few hours.<br /><br />Since I picked out my lenses a couple of weeks ago, I took a picture of them to see what they would look like.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363798667103190194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lrsaUV2bq4d53HVrMVJ68uenww8AyK5qUG3EbPRfTvfkaegKRo1fQEfx7cgJdRThksiIUVy1ufakQ8Ena1DgNlADcR5ucNmx3GV6iuh0bioPUbkuF0vYUtZIj_UhRQfo0wbj443p3cE/s320/IMG00013-20090711-1526.jpg" /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">I would have taken a picture of them with the lenses in, but I didn’t feel like primping for pictures after being nearly blinded today. I’ll take some pics one of these days; I’m way to vain not to after all.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">In closing, we’ve been getting a bit of rain lately and I happened to catch a pretty rainbow as I was leaving the eyeglass store.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYgsrsJkTCZaQPDxXW5YubTvWoks3q9RODosiyA_XdDk9hHrXJZEE-je9I2tjHAShG-JAtw8wUqYBfFfv6fNPnh0Dj4qSa8rfVkG3jwthqkulMZvKBcw9PzuNBScDbe8sgXh03HxD1FnY/s1600-h/IMG00052-20090728-1829.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

most of the deal was supposed to have already been worked out over the many phone calls that took place with our original salesperson, it was supposed to be pretty much ‘sewn up’ with picking the actual car and signatures being the only detail to be worked out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I did my homework, I knew what I wanted/needed financially speaking, and I was not moving an inch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">When we arrived there was an eager predator holding the door open and asking “How can I help you?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I told him who we had been dealing with over the phone; this person was not at work yet so we were stuck with this particular vulture for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I should have just waited but was assured this salesman could get our paperwork that the original salesman had worked up already.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">It’s almost as if dealers make their salespeople take a reverse lie detector test at the interview to make sure they can properly screw people while appearing to be as friendly as possible to their victims.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I was not fooled (I am naturally cynical) and insisted that Si call the original person and leave a message of “urgent help sorely needed” just in case he was already there and this new guy was stealing his sell, or for when he did arrive at work so that hopefully he would be quick to hurry over and make this sell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">The vulture that grabbed us at the door refused to listen to anything that we told him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He kept trying to make us raise our financial limit, brought car after car that he was told from minute one that we could not afford or were not interested in, making us sit in them and drive them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If it were not for Si going along with this asshole I would have walked away and directly asked to see someone else that would actually listen to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I think Si was having fun with all the test drives; I was obviously not amused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">Sometime well after noon our original salesman finally calls; he had just arrived, apparently working the evening shift.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Less than five minutes later he arrived to save us from the vulture trying to steal his sell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">What was really funny is that when I saw our original salesman in the flesh, I realized that I knew him from somewhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It took a few minutes to figure it out but then I remembered that he used to date my sister way back in the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I think we were still teens back then, things get fuzzy after so many years, but we were definitely still just babies in the dating world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">I asked him if he remembered her and at first he thought that he did but said that he wasn’t sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Even if he wasn’t sure, I was; I remember the name, his profession, and his face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He was totally not her type back then; he had to be the most disgusting guy she ever considered, I remember that every time I saw him back then he had on a dirty, holey t-shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">When I asked her what she was doing with this guy she would say “You have to see him in his suit”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She had met him at his job while she test drove new cars, one of her favorite things to do back then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Seeing him again now I still thought he was gross, maybe because he still wasn’t wearing a suit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>lol<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>At least he seemed cleaner these days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Anyway, I just thought it was funny to have had him sell me a car; ah… memories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">It was a much better and smoother experience after he arrived; he already had a few cars for us in mind that thankfully met all of our demands and was within all of our limitations, this took less than an hour and we were then sent to the financial office to close things up which took more than an hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">I did read over everything that I put my signature on; the finance guy was very nice, he explained everything clearly and confirmed every deal in writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>I think it was a fair deal, but we were told we had to come back the next day for more paperwork that couldn’t be finished that day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">I cannot say that I was happy overall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The first salesman was evasive and dismissive, it took way too long to get down to business and complete paperwork, and the fact that I am adding to my monthly expenses is not something I am happy about, it is not something to be celebrated and something I had been fighting against for years now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#999999;">I am grateful to be on wheels again though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Even though it is cheaper than owning a vehicle, public transportation in this city sucks a big one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I can’t deal with the unreliability of public transportation here; it takes forever to get anywhere even if you call a cab, sometimes the cab shows up quickly, sometimes takes more than an hour; it’s impossible to plan anything or show up on time anywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><br /><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:#999999;">Anyway, goodbye to my wonderful Red;

Dark clouds have been gathering around Red for a long time now; she has sadly and finally passed on to be spare parts for a still live and running relative (bless its old tired engine). A moment of silence please, in remembrance of good ol’ Red…………<br /><br /></span><div><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;">Ok, enough of that. She died in the middle of traffic today and pissed me off so I have little respect left for her right now. Thank God for a kindly and beautiful woman with her cute little Chihuahua in a lovely white jeep that pushed us out of the road. That woman is an angel and I need to thank her on craigslist, MySpace, and any other free local classified that I can find because she left as soon as we were clear. All I could do was wave thankfully…. Thank you kind beautiful lady with the cute Chihuahua in the lovely white jeep! Bless you, your pets, and all of your children and your children’s children and their children too! May you all have the best forever! Thank you, thank you, thank you.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;">So now that we know that Red is dead and gone, coming back to life no more, I hope to get another car soon, this week soon. I emphasize the word hope here because I have no idea what is in store for me at the dealership; I may run away screaming in frustration if they don’t throw me out for belligerent behavior. Car shopping is number one on my Shit List of Things To Do. Salespeople are among the most immoral creatures that the public is forced to deal with; they are in the same category with HMO’s, bill collectors, and telemarketers. They are not even good enough to be called scum, always and only working for their own betterment and gains. I’m going to have a hard time keeping an open mind with a low tude level.<br /></span></div><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;">I’ve been doing my homework though, I have the consumer reports list of best buys (I should get the list of worst buys too, now that I think of it), and I think I know what to demand as far as payments and options, but I am still scared to death. They really do have all of the power in the end; I am no good when it comes to kissing ass, bowing down, or taking what is just offered. I am that anal person that reads every unreadable line of the contract to make sure that I am not being screwed, or at least to make sure that I agree on what I’m getting screwed on. The car buying process takes all day and sometimes two, I think that the time it takes is the second most annoying thing besides the salesperson themselves; and after having dealt with all of that they may not even find me worthy of having a car. That would really piss me off.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;">Everybody wish me luck and another great car that will last at least six years like Red did. If it’s just not in the cards then I’ll be walking and cabbing for a long time to come. The cards…. Yes… I must do the cards on this issue….<br /></span></div><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;">Anyway, among the terrorizing car stuff, and other general life issues, I swear I would be popping pills to meet my maker by now, but I logged onto my school tonight and saw that my latest grades had been posted. They were enough to make me rethink suicide and keep going another day. I got an A in ethics and a B in math; proof that my brain isn’t mush and that I may actually be useful to someone that will pay me money to do something someday. And to prove that I am not just delusional, I took pictures of my grades! (obvious bragging)<br /></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#990000;"> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328845969608459202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbeP4quM7lqoEkM-KU13jrHHu_dpgOpiVtWC-RI9rWnF0pYMCpukWROI3fXuamUy9y_t6iZCsGBfMO_7o2iUf4JJtigTldZicfPMA6pqCSkXz9aGBDfRO_cnN6bt-ov6PvJTfBZulYdi8/s320/Pic-0126.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328845966470980114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 143px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5v0M9JdydaaQFVnLPBePtnq5eiXbNczmdGoQBs2DS-WMZoXfjdmX4NgVnH9LV3b-tey3kuAZo8ndFt7ubWcTztSF9ywZpncV8Da3AwUhoxo9mRmSOraq5vydXAUc9FQyeRGsEv3fxd8/s320/Pic-0124.jpg" border="0" /></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#990000;">I got that A last minute and overnight; I honestly did not start on my final until the night before it was due, and before that I had a middle of the road B.

and plus, I could help to stimulate the economy by paying someone to cut it for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I went to the Belle Isle Super Cuts because that’s where I had been going for years from time to time when I needed and could afford a cut where I was introduced to a seemingly nice person that would cut my hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She asked me what I wanted and I told her, nothing fancy just a layer with bangs, no more than an inch off the length unless absolutely necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I KNOW that’s a pretty damn basic and easy cut; should take about 15 minutes tops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">She takes the water bottle and barely sprays around my head for about five minutes before she decides to use a comb, this was so annoying that I should have told her to stop before she picked up the scissors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>When she combed my hair she acted like she was afraid to follow through, pulling the comb out every time she hit the slightest tangle; at this point I’m getting down right angry because I’ve been in the chair for about 10 minutes already and she hasn’t even started to cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is when I notice that she looks a lot like Keshia Knight Pulliam, you know, Rudy from the Cosby show and the new Tyler Perry movie (which was awesome btw), like they could be twins if it weren’t for this woman’s horrible weave that I unfortunately didn’t notice until much later (more on that later, too).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">When she did finally pick up the scissors I wondered if she was cutting anything, I mean I couldn’t see or feel anything she was doing besides running the comb through my hair; I could hear the scissors working but not a sound that indicated that they were cutting anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She does this all over my head and I begin to see that she is NOT cutting anything off of my hair at all, for some reason she is acting or pretending like she is cutting my hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Yes, VERY SRANGE, I know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I swear, my inner voice was screaming, “Get up; do not let her touch your hair!” but did I listen to my inner voice?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>No, unfortunately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">She asks “Where do you want your bangs?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:#ff0000;">I tell her, “Just below my eyes.”</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I was kinda wondering if she was actually going to make a cut and when she finally did, she cut my bangs almost off!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>She didn’t even listen to what I told her!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The she says, “Oh, No…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I’m so sorry.” I think she did it on purpose for some reason though I do not know what reason she would have to do something so malicious to another woman’s hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Her name is henceforth ‘Bitch that looks like Rudy’ or ‘Bitch Rudy’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I wish I would have gone bipolar on her ass right then…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I think I was still in shock over what she had just done when she began cutting more of my hair in what she called layers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I don’t know what to call it, chopped screwy maybe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I was so pissed off and afraid that I was about to pull a Madea when she was through that I actually paid the Bitch and left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I got home hoping that I might be able to fix it somehow, maybe the Flowbee could help but I’d have to go shorter again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">When I got home and looked in the mirror, I was LIVID!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I called the salon to talk to a manager and hopefully they would stop this Rudy lookin Bitch from ruining anyone else’s hair and give me my money back but she wasn’t there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I couldn’t just leave it alone, like Si was telling me to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I can’t really blame him, he was afraid of me going buck wild on her ass too though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My attitude has been known to be rough when I’m provoked; I’ve been thrown out of a few places in the past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But I was so damn upset that I could not leave this alone, this Bitch would have to give me my money back and know how bad she did me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">When I got there everyone was busy cutting hair, even Bitch Rudy, she was giving a child a buzz cut, poor child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So I waited for someone, anyone to get done and talk to me; it was then, while staring down this heinous hair ruining Rudy looking Bitch, that I noticed that her weave tracks were showing and she had what looked like bed head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I wish I had noticed that first, maybe I would have saved myself months of ponytails.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>How does a hair salon employ a person that looks near homeless and cannot even care for their own hair?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Anyway, she was done first and happened to be the one that I was going to talk to on this matter. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I told her “I went home and looked at my hair and tried to see if I could fix what you have done, but I can’t do it; and the more I think about it the angrier I get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I’m going to need my money back so that I can find someone else to fix this mess you made.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I felt that I was as polite as possible and I kept my voice low so as not to make a scene in front of the other customers (but they could hear me anyway).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">She was understandably taken aback at first, then tried to explain that she was doing what she had been trained and blah blah blah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I stopped listening after she said “trained”; I have never had this problem at this particular salon before and I assumed that their techs were from a tech school at least, I didn’t think you could work at a place like that and not be from a school; if so, I could do ten times better than Bitch Rudy without the proper schooling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">She called her manager on the phone and begins to go into her explanations to her boss; all she says is “I did exactly how I was trained…” She was neglecting to mention that she butchered my bangs as well so I said “Don’t forget to tell her that you cut off all of my bangs, too.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>With a shocked look on her face, she actually told her boss that on the phone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I didn’t say anything else while she was being told how to refund my money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Another tech had to come and help her, a guy this time, handsome dude too but that’s beside the point here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He successfully refunded me with nothing but one’s…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>lol<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>At least I got my money back and I didn’t go crazy in public.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">When I got back home I broke out the trusty Flowbee; it did what it could do considering all of the uneven chunks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>My bangs are still almost non-existent, I am still stuck with ponytails for months and it’s a lot shorter than I had hoped for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This is what she did to my bangs…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span></span></span></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310275883791783362" style="DISPLAY: block;
