This totally (and probably irrationally) bothers me. No talkie when you go wee! Stop it!

The worst is when someone is on their cell phone in the bathroom. Now, I must admit, I've done it once, but it was an emergency situation. I was trying to get ahold of Emily to go pick her up. We were both in New Hampshire. Only, she'd gone to Vermont, so I no longer had a phone number where she could be reached. She called, and I had to take the call. Hee!

Yes! And also -- stop having conversations in the bathroom!

My office pumps music into the bathrooms, the odd thing is that's the only place where music is pumped in. If you are going to pump music into only one place in the office building, pump it into the elevators where it belongs. I don't think there is music in the elevators, but I don't remember for sure since I never use them.

There's a book by Malcolm Gladwell called Blink. It cites a lot of research to demonstrate that the good decisions are the ones you make by instinct, and that the rationalizations people come up with to explain decisions are often irrelevant or even wrong.

Hate that. And for the love of mike don't expect a response from me when I'm in a stall unless you are asking if there's toilet paper.

She called, and I had to take the call.

Especially since I had to borrow someone else's cell and stand on a box to try to get a signal.

But getting a call is different -- not ideal, but I understand it. It's when they're already on the phone when they go into the bathroom. Like, have the conversation first. This is not the best time for multitasking.

I'm sure the rationalization to spend the money to put speakers and play music in the bathrooms is irrelevant or wrong.

I like the idea of music in the bathrooms. It's soothing. And it distracts me from knowing I'm so close to complete strangers when I'm going.

Not everyone looked good with a flat, sleek, bob so waves and curls were incorporated into the craze. A gel was applied to the hair and then, while using the fingers in unison with a skilled comb, waves were sculpted into the hair. The ends of the hair were then wound around the finger and pinned, thus named "the pincurl". Long metal clamps were applied to the waves to keep them in place while the client sat under the dryer.

So, this is what my grandma called "getting her hair set"? Doesn't that make it kind of not-move-y and stiff?

A fingerwave is pretty stiff. Your grandma, however, probably had her hair set in rollers and then brushed out and styled since fingerwaves were not that common after the 30s.

I had a Marcel done for a wedding I was in 2 years ago and I loved it. Wish I had a picture I could link to.
