Brew from the pot...

For weeks I have been listening to gripes and gossip at work. It is like a pot of negativity brewing in the shop; we all come in and add to it, stirring up the issues. Then every day we drink from it, becoming poisoned by it. I am sick of it, and I don't want to do it anymore. We had a staff meeting... Sign in to see full entry.

Stories from my life...

I have a customer named Jay. He is a doctor who works in the emergency room of a local hospital. One of the favors Jay has done for me is to help me make a decision. I was trying to decide whether I wanted a bicycle, a scooter or a motorcycle, and I was caught up in the romance of riding a... Sign in to see full entry.

Brew from the pot...

Yesterday morning, a customer came in asking if we knew how to cut ‘afro’s. There were two of us un the store at the time; myself and ‘T’. ‘T’ is new to the business, having just received her cosmetology license a few months ago.

Things are relatively back to normal at my job; but my manager is not talking to me.I guess her feelings are hurt. I remember a couple of weeks ago when another one of my co-workers talked about how angry she was after a similar conflict with our manager, I encouraged her, at the time, to try to...

Stories from my life...

One of my customers lost his aunt to cancer last week. He came into the store two weeks ago, and while I cut his hair he shared with me what he was going through. He told me how he had taken his aunt to the doctor earlier that month, and after receiving the news that she was, in fact, terminal, she... Sign in to see full entry.

Brew from the pot...

The situation regarding my Saturday off has been resolved. I did get in touch with the store owner and sent him an e-mail. It wasn't until I received a response from him that it became clear to me what I really wanted; to be respect, valued and appreciated, which is exactly what he did. He affirmed...

Stories from my life...

While cutting a client's hair, the two of us got into a discussion about being in the military. I often have similar conversations with men in the service as I am a former Air Force Brat. What struck me was this guy said that he had served in Iraq and as part of his duty, he shot and killed others,... Sign in to see full entry.

Living with humans...

Sorry, went I wrote the part about my neighbor 'hanging himself' I meant that he created the situation that led to him being evicted from his apartment. He did not literally hang himself. That's the funny thing about writing; you know what you mean, but others, when they read it, can come up with... Sign in to see full entry.
