'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Every new person I have to convince I really want it that short. At least they've stopped trying to talk me out of it. That used to be very tiresome, "You'd look so pretty if...." No, thanks, I'd rather look like a dog.
Much simpler to get it cut by a man, and by a black man. The moment of disbelief is statistically the shortest.
Huh. I've been getting my hair cut by the same person for the last 12 years. And it was she who had to convince me to cut it short.

Hairstylists and barbers learn by much experience that people are very bad at indicating really how short they want their hair and then flip out like mammals when it is too short.
It is, by far, the number one cause of flipping out customers.
And they can always go shorter. But they have to learn to trust that Amy really and truly does want that pixie, and you most sincerely want the clippers just so.
YAY nothing!
I went to PT this morning, and for some reason decided to wear one of my many Converse instead of the heavy duty sneakers I usually wear, which kind of sucked when the therapist decided today should be treadmill day, but kind of sucked a lot less when I got to work and realized the shoes I wanted to wear with my work outfit (a dress) were still at home, especially since I picked the pair that actually kind of matches my dress.
Hailstorm yesterday. Power was out for 17 hours. I called in sick to work; if I tell my boss again that I've had a power outage, she'll start thinking I'm lying. The last one was just a week ago!
Probably have to throw out everything in the fridge. Annoying; I just spent $60 on groceries yesterday. What about the cheese? And most importantly, the sour cream dip? They should be okay, right? They're already sour milk, what can happen? The ice didn't entirely melt; maybe the frozen fruit is okay.
For people who don't use the serial comma:
Are there times when you do use it? If so, when?
Basically, it seems the client I'm writing for is not using it, except when they do. Annoying.

Just went through the same thing in June, Zenkitty . I only saved my yogurt, which I put on ice about 30 hours after the power cut out, and my cheese; everything else was in the garbage.

When it clarifies the meaning of the sentence. Otherwise it's not necessary. Of course, your author may just be maddeningly inconsistent.
I'm officially in love with my tailor. I don't think he speaks much English, but I don't care. He's MAGIC.

Ack! One or the other! I can't think of any time I don't use it, honestly.
