Now tagless for your comfort.

How much do you usually tip a hair stylist?

I tend to tip around 15%--but I also tip the shampooer a few bucks if some poor, lowly person who's just waiting to get a chair of her own as a stylist washes. And if I love the cut, I'll tip 20%

I'm within the norm, it seems.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I tip about 20%, depending on how rounding makes sense.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and still perhaps a wee bit bitter
It's a righteous bitter, if you are...

$10. It's a little more than 20%, but I like her a lot and she listens. I pay extra for actually listening.

Excellent. Thank you. Two friends went to the same salon over the weekend and came back with awesome hair, so I'll be tipping more if this guy makes me look good.

Huh. That article reads sorta rude to me.
What salon staff wants you to do: Start from 20 percent to be fair.
I want a pony. To be fair.

I will settle for a great haircut tomorrow though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Stopped at the library after work today. Did my usual come-out-with-more-books-than-I-returned thing.(Hi. I'm Sheryl, and I'm addicted to books.)

It's a righteous bitter, if you are...

hrm. I can't really call my bitterness righteous as it was so long ago I don't even think about it anymore. Certainly I retain no strong feelings about him. I have no business being bitter about it anymore. I just, er, get pinged by certain subtle behaviors I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But guys with girlfriends are allowed to make new female friends, right? Otherwise my social life is sorely capped.

Whoops. I have my cranky pants showing today.

The reason: The property management signs for all packages here and we pick them up from the office. There was a break-in Saturday and some clothes I ordered are gone. I checked online yesterday that, yes, they were delivered and were signed for and then called the girl at the office to let her know. She said that the manager would call me today to deal with it.

No call. I call them. Another girl, very nice, there says the manager is on the phone but will call me right back. I ask what I need ready to "start the process" of getting the items replaced.

"We aren't doing that."

*dead* *fucking* *silence*

The hell?

The hell, exactly. Are you going to go ask them, in a very calm tone, what, exactly, they ARE going to do about your property that they lost?
