Well heaven forbid I have something important going on!
Greetings earthlings.
I have been trying to think of embarrassing moments. I know I've had some, but I think I must get over them quickly or something. Ok, here's one. One time I was working in a lonely construction company office, which the company was in the process of closing down. So I would sit there alone (keep in mind this is pre-internet days) and play solitaire on the computer. Then to make it more challenging, I switched to using my left hand instead of my right. Boring with a capital B. The only person I would see most days was this lawyer from the next office over who would put his lunch in my fridge in the morning, and come and retrieve it at lunch time. And then, ever so occasionally somebody would come and check out a set of blueprints. So one day, a guy comes to check out blueprints. I recognize him from somewhere, figure out who he is, but don't tell him that I know him. He supposedly had a crush on me at one time--he worked with one of my friends. Well yeah right now he doesn't even recognize me. Where is the love. So I'm writing his name down on the check-out sheet, and I lean forward on my desk. My chair goes flying out from under me and I fall on my butt. I'm laughing hysterically on the floor behind my desk and this poor guy is so embarrassed he can't even look at me. He came in a couple times after that but I don't think he ever got over it.
I have a new work schedule and it's great fun because I get to see more of my work colleagues. Do hair stylists still get to be called colleagues? So I worked today for a wee bit and Jen watched Charlotte for me. She and Afton apparently had a blast and I'm so happy that my kid is well adjusted enough that she doesn't cry when I leave her to be babysat.
We'll see ya next time! (I just said that like LaVar Burton, could you tell??)

I am thinking about naming my next child LaVar. And yes you are very embarrassing.
Isn't it funny how whenever someone asks you to relay an embarrasing moment, you can't remember one? It's super psycological and all that crap.
Good times with the flying chair incident!
Oh dang - I misspelled psychological. Hooked on Phonics, here I come!
You just need to watch more Reading Rainbow Lynette.
Take a look. Its in a book...
Aw, LaVar, Oh the memories. Anyway...I don't think it counts as an embarrassing moment if the observer is more uncomfortable than you are. But good story nonetheless.
And yes, we can be colleagues. That is much better than fellow beauticians or whatever other lame names people call us.
Let's make a list of those:
hair-technician
hair-lady
beauty-operator
hair-cutter
cosmetologist
etc, etc
You guys are funny. You realize that the world would be totally ugly without you and your colleagues, right?
i get to go see my hair lady on friday, i'm so excited.
I like the term beauty operator! It's even in my profile. I'm a dork.
pardon me...beauty operator
