There was also a bunch of feather shortages this summer
I recently got a bookmark with a feather in it. Arthur now has the feather, but I still have the bookmark.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I get my hair cut in the middle of the day, but I don't think I waltz.
(The salon is in the same building as my office and offers really good employee discounts. So everyone does it whether they're exempt or union or whatever.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
she sells foils out of the back of her car.
Maybe! I should note that she does work on Sunday, but still. I think it's fascinating that I can't really get an after-work appointment.

I do, too, but it's more of a flamenco for me.

The hairdresser has a side-business of servicing customers out of her home, cutting out the salon owner as a middleman.
I actually hope she does. I know she's a single mother, so I basically think it's great that she's not working crazy hours, but I do honestly wonder how the bills get paid.

I also got my hair cut during the middle of the day (when I had a job). I called it "my lunch hour" though. And there was no waltzing, no flamenco. Maybe just a skosh of the macarena sometimes.

My hairstylist is having a baby and doesn't know how much she's going to work when she comes back. (It's her own salon.) It's already insane getting an appointment with her, it will be probably be a 6 months wait if she goes part time. She's good, but not that good.

How does my hairdresser make a living, working noon-6 and not on Saturdays?
Eight haircuts/day @ $50 = $400 + $100 in tips = $500
4 days/week = $2,000 x 50 weeks = $100,000 - ~$10,000 for chair rental

Dang. I guess that explains why my old hairdresser has a pool.
(That and she lives on Staten Island.)

Judging from my ex-boss, Exempt employees go and get their hair cut in the middle of the day or whenever they like. "I'm off to get my hair cut," she'd say breezily and waltz out at 3pm.
Oh that reminds me Hec, insent.
