I go to a cheap salon chain because...cheap. Also the places in town are expensive or expensive and feared toward women of a certain age.

Last day in this building. First day construction on new conference rooms/offices down the hall from me is using noisy, desk-shaking power tools and sledgehammers to tear apart room.. Started at 7:30 this morning.
Lovely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was grateful that they let us stay home when construction/destruction was happening at my old office!

But it would probably be more fun to buy some clippers and invite a friend over with a bottle of something cold.
FYI, Tom has two hair clippers if you need to borrow one.

I just sent an email to the morning DJ protesting him joining the morning newscaster in "hinting" that all the women reporting Trump's lewd behavior are "piling on" and maybe making up the stories. I asked if his management was forcing him to play along with this or if he actually believed this stuff.
I feel all political and stuff now.

Someone reassure me that the movers will not be (obviously) disgusted with me for not having absolutely everything boxed up properly when they show up and that they will be patient with me as I'm shoveling things in at the last minute.

Good for you, Connie. Some men are just so blind. I mean, even if I can believe that those specific people have never made unwanted advances, it's so obvious that Trump is a lech! And lech in position of power and/or authority always equals bad behavior.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My last move, I was still packing as the movers were taking stuff out. They didn't seem to feel this was unusual.

I'm sure they've seen worse, Connie, and you're paying them for their time. So, they'll have to deal.

Oh, gosh, the DJ responded to the email. I haven't had the guts to read it yet. Which is utterly hypocritical of me, I had the brass to be nasty to him, and he's a real person, and I owe it to the real person I've been listening to for decades to read his response, and I want to sit under a table and read fluffy fanfiction for the next three weeks.
