hello all! I've just had a four-day weekend and got caught up on my sleep, which was lovely. I had my hair done, which leads to a question - the colorist is having serious problems with consistency. I never know what shade my hair's going to be - this month it's good as to dark/light, but brighter than I'm really comfortable with. Last time, it was really dark, the time before was good, the time before I ended up with Bozo the Clown hair (light and really, really bright). It seems that if I want the person who cuts my hair, I have to take this colorist. I'm thinking of going back to my old salon - which I don't actually like as much, and I wouldn't get the cuts I really like - but I wouldn't have to worry about what color my hair's going to be. argh
and, in regard to air travel, this turned up ... and, actually we may reach that point

{{Kate, Mark and family}}. How devastating for the family. All my sympathy to you and yours.
{{Max}} Fuck cancer, Fred Pete. Hope the vet has good news for you.
{{Byron}} Eat, bubba, you're worrying your human.

The universe can stop with this scary shit anytime it feels like.
Todd, why can't you have your hair cut at one place and colored at another? I do different services at different salons. When you book your appointment, just book the cut. Of course, you can always go to the colorist and express your concern. Anyone worth their salt would offer to redo it. If there's a problem, just do cuts in the future and be honest that the reason that you don't want to do your color is a lack of consistency.
Also, I have a good colorist, but he's not cheap.
DJ, I am so sorry.
Fred, my sympathies.

Okay, the universe needs to start treating my people better.
Never look up medical stuff online.
Seriously - the top hits are ALWAYS either worst case scenarios or total whackadoodle bullshit. Dr Google hears hoofbeats and thinks zebras.
Thanks for the sympathies. And allow me to offer mine to FredPete, sara, and Kate P. I am just all up in my own mess right now (though getting better). I spent most of last night/this morning bawling my eyes out and am just exhausted now.
Had a work dude get snippy with me over email. Professional emails are no place for ASSCAPS!
I just got an email that another school wants to interview me -- I'd applied a long while ago, and they just realized that they need to hire one more person than they'd originally thought. It's a really good school in a city that I don't know much about, but it looks like a place I'd be OK with. Phone interview tomorrow.
There seems to be a large group of Orthodox Jews in town protesting something (someone said something about Israeli cemetaries?) headquartered near my office. Lots and lots and lots of men in long black coats (just asking for heatstroke - it's 100 out there!) in bunches. Right across the street from where they're having the tennis matches. Clash of cultures anyone?
