Who is this? Or should I say what is this? Has the dialysis machine come to life and hijacked the computer?

Must beat husband with pillows-- okay, it's a soft beating, I don't want to bruise him up and have the neighbors talk you know.

It's his night off, he's watching American Werewolf in London.

And adding posts I see.

Blame it on the kids. Perhaps I could loan you my Kool Aid spoon, the one I always threaten the kids with. Figured no one from CPS would ever believe that I beat my kids with smiling Kool Aid faces all over their body.

I think I'm headed off to bed. Happy Dreams!

I had a thought.. Hey Alex, look at it this way, it could have been much worse. Remember when Stephanie Plum in the thrid book had overdyed her hair and it was Orange?

Then again, it would be perfect for Halloween

No. But I did buy a pumpkin pie from costco today.

I have been craving pumpkin pie and I will only eat Costco's pumpkin pie. I just bought one this evening!

Good evening, hyenas!

Nothin' much going on. I went to the salon late this afternoon and got my hair cut and colored. New gal in the salon (instead of my usual stylist), so I was a bit nervous. She was nice and did a very careful job with both the cut and the color, but I was nervous because when she did the foil, she not only left it on longer than normal, but she had me sit under a dryer!

Then she applied the all-over caramel color. I couldn't tell how it looked when I left because it was still wet and I just wanted to get home. I checked the mirror once I got home and... Ummmm, it looks even MORE gray!

I don't know if the bleach totally bleached the chosen hairs white, or if the caramel wash didn't color terribly well. Overall the hair looks lighter (DUH), but under a bright light there just looks like a lot of gray. NOT the look I was hoping for.

I'm sorry that happend Alex. You poor thing! That's not good that she didn't mix the hair color well.

I've had quite a few bad stylists....the worst was the one inside a JC Penny store. My friend raved about how wonderful it was, insisted I try it so I did. A male stylist did not only NOT listen to my instructions but he cut my hair much shorter than what I had asked for and curled my hair all funky. I looked like an asian Shirley Temple! I went home and washed my hair and straightened it with a hair iron. I like this one lady who styles my hair. She does a great job and she does excellent highlights. The only problem is that she always makes me feel like crap when I see her (she says things without thinking and in her eyes it's "ok" to say the things she does), she also quotes a low price over the phone and then demands much more after she cuts hair. She also is too far of a drive and I stopped going there.

Is it possible for you to call the stylist that you like and ask that she fix the coloring for you?

Yes, I said it...today sucks! Actually yesterday sucked, but today sucked even more. So today is suckiest!

Yesterday printer at work is flashing ink out messages, but I know it's not really out of ink...go to Office Max get stuck in there for over an hour because idiot people don't know how to order copier toner. If they worked for me I would fire all 4 of them!

This morning printer still won't work even with new ink...go to Best Buy and get new printer, which of course doesn't open until 10am. What idiot manager thought that idea up? In the middle of a bunch of offices that open at 8am and they can't be bothered to up until 2 hours later. 8, count them EIGHT people standing at the door at Best Buy greeting and checking everyone's receipts. Do you think there is anyone to help carry a heavy printer box for me? NO! So I go to customer service and she apologizes because it's only 10:15am! WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you open at 10am, yes but everyone is usually late getting on the floor. Don't even get me started. I ask if one of the "bozos" standing at the front door can help...NOPE! They are apparently busy treating everyone like a shoplifter. FINALLY they get some guy to help carry the printer up to the register for me. Then he says, do you want me to get you a cart so you can push it to your car? I said, I just had surgery and I can't lift over 20 pounds, so I will need help lifting it into the car. He informs me that he can only carry it to the front door, I will have to carry it the rest of the way, due to liability and safety issues. WTH!!!! I'm 5 feet tall, do you really think I'm going to attack this 6'5 tall guy in the parking lot? I ask him if he's ever heard of the ADA (American's with Disabilities Act)? I require assistance with my shopping because I am disabled. The clerk overhears me and tells him to carry it out to my car (wise lady), the only smart one I've run into.

Anyway I stuff the receipt and change in my purse and about get mauled at the front door because they want to see my receipt. I look at them and tell them NO! They watched me pay for it 5' away at the register. If they try to stop me I will assume they are trying to assault me, I will kick them you know where and I will call 911 if they put a finger on me or the employee carrying it out to my car...SO GET OUTTA MY WAY...I'M HAVING A BAD DAY! The sea of Best Buy Bozo's parted and I was soon on my way!

For 2 days now I've been dealing with a computer virus on one of my bosses computers (finally got it fixed this afternoon) and trying to get things set up for my new printer.

So how was your day?

Oh my Alison If it makes you feel better I have also had my moments where Best Buy was almost down a couple employees.

bummer on the hair dye

I haven't needed to tackle that issue yet-- YES!!!

I just pluck out the greys, my kids warn me that evenutally there will be more grey and then I won't have any hair from all my plucking.

NOT FAIR!!! Granted I have a wonderful hair colorist. Every few months for the last 16 years I will buy a box (with coupon), and tell DH (even before he was DH) that it is time.

The woman is off brushing her teeth, that will take at least 2 minutes, I've taken over her post ha ha ha! Oh, now she's peeing, who knows how long that will take?

OMG

I am really sorry Pix, I apologize profusely, but I am still cracking up about the asian Shirley Temple comment sorry

 

[AZMickeyfans]

sorry for the soapbox here I'll take it off.

Moral of the story is I hate best buy and sprint.

 

[AZMickeyfans]

I'm trying to avoid and no one is here to distract me. Darn you people.

I wore my hyena shirt to AK just to REPRESENT! I also FIT into it again which is a good thing!

I hang my head down in shame because I threw my hyena tank top away. I had worn it while cleaning house and had bleach splatters and a giant stain of something brownish orange down the front. Figured it was better to get rid of it then to wear something like that out in public.

I am sitting here enjoying a nice cup of tea. Why you ask? Well because the entire world is full of idiots and I think I've had to deal with every one of them on the phone today. I swear I am close to going postal!

Ferrellgas - we spend $10,000-$15,000 per month on propane for one of our hotels. When we first signed up with them we signed an agreement, they provide our propane tanks for free as long as we buy our propane exclusively from them. So for 16 years we have honored our end of the bargain. However this spring they decide to start charging us tank rental. I show them our agreement and they say....well that's an OLD agreement. I point out there is no expiration date and I don't care if it's old or not, that was the agreement.

We end up contacting the local branch manager and he tells their corporate to "back off". However, instead of giving us the free tank their "computer" has to charge us something, so it charges us $2 per year plus sales tax, $2.17, which my boss refuses to pay. No remember we purchase $10-$15,000 a month of propane from them.

So today I get a call from their headquarters and they say we are, you guessed it...$2.17 past due on our account and they are shutting us down...will no longer deliver propane to our hotel. I tell her the story, offer to fax a copy of our contract. But NO! The lady in A/R refuses to let me speak to her supervisor and instead lectures me on paying our account on time. After spending 10 minutes trying to get her to use her brain, I not so politely tell her where to shove it and suggest she call the branch in Port Angeles and tell the manager that she has just shut off a $160,000 a year account that owes $2.17.

Geez, guess what, I haven't had a call from anyone, my guess is they are going to deliver our propane this week!

AND...I just spent half an hour on the phone with Office Max. Seems that they can't possibly be wrong! I ordered two Sharp copier toner cartridges. What I got delivered from their warehouse was 2 gigantic IBM/Lexmark printer cartridges. And once again, you guessed it, "THE COMPUTER SAYS" that I have Sharp toner cartridges. Never mind that the lady won't believe that the IBM cartridges are almost as big as my entire copier. So after yelling at her for 10 minutes and telling her to dig her head out of her trunk I finally get transferred to someone that believes me. They are sending someone out to pick them up and will deliver the correct ones.
