Nail Appts, are like Doctor Appts...

You will always wait at least 5 minutes, the most 20 minutes. I don't understand why some customers make some appointments to get their nailz done an exact hour before their next appointment. Especially around my lunch time. And expect me to sit them at my table ten minutes before their scheduled apointments. Now please, keep in mind, I give my customers my undivided attention...I do not give my customers a half-ass job either. They get the full amount of time that their services require and sometimes even a little extra. So, what's my issue today? you ask? Well, yesterday, I had a full day, that consisted of acrylic fills, manicures, and gels. I had a small 20 minutes to scuff down my left over rice and beans. It was 5 minutes before 1:00pm when my 1 o'clock walked in and sat in the waiting area...quickly asking for me. One of the girls let her know that I was in the back. So I greeted her and told her she could have a seat at my table that I woud be with her shortly. (as I took my last 2 bites of my lunch)...The not-so-patient custy...asked one of the other girls, "Is she almost done? She replied, "she'll be right out". I don't understand what the hell was her problem...Just because I was 2 minutes late...2 minutes...i mean seriously...She claimed she had anoher appointment, right after this one...that of course sounded more important. Now my question to you is, If your next appointment was so important that you can't be late for...Why in the hell are you getting your nailz done in the first place? If you know you got like 10 more minutes to dry...I don't get it.
Now today was the same thing, just a different breed. This one makes the appointment at 10am , knowing that she has to be at work at 8:30am. And has the nerve to tell me she's in a little bit of a rush. Mind you I was 2 minutes late...."cause I had to go to the bathroom...Then she's the type of person who just needs to check my work, but at the same time she's complimenting me and kissing my ass on how well of a job I do...I don't get it. Maybe I've been doing this too long...I need to pass my dental hygiene exam.

Feeling a little left out....

Today I attended my boyfriends sons football game. It was pretty fun watching the little guys run around, and fall everytime they tried tackling the other team..Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Parents sitting on the bleachers yelling out their support for their kids on the team. Kids were everywhere, in line getting their snacks and junk food. They were running around having fun with one another..I basically people watched. One of my favorite things to do, is to sit and observe people and their interactions with one another. But today, I don't know, I felt a little left out, for some reason. I felt like I was the outsider, the only person I knew there was my boyfriend, no one else. Not a a parent, that's for sure, you know. U would think I would've been the one to feel comfortable, but for some reason I didn't, 'cause I felt that I couldn't relate to none of them. (I wanted to) Maybe is just me, making it into an issue that just doesn't make any sense...maybe. I could just be rambling...I mean that is why I subscribed to this blog...right? It could be me being the Leo that I am...always wanting attention and being in the center of it all.......nah. I don't know.

Introduction that should've been done 1st.

Well, seeing that i just wrote a whole bunch of mindless bullshit down and feel 100% better, i can formally introduce myself now. I am a 32 yearold Nail technician, a hairdresser, and a dental hygienist. (the hygienist part is still in the works). I've been trying to clean teeth for a year and a half now. since I graduated from hygiene school. Haven't been able to pass the National Boards yet....keep getting a score of 74%...When in reality all I need is a 75%..(u think I'm falling throught the cracks)..sigh. But the good thing is that I love my Job as a Nailtech. I've been holding peoples' hands for 10 years now. Listening to their problems, good news, illness', love stories, engagements, wedding planning(bridezillas), adulterous affairs, pregnancy, divorces, custody batttles, family issues, new careers, new lovers, Anything you can think of, I have heard better. Ohhh the stories that I have for you! My sister got me on this glob...lol...imean blog shit, and I think she's got a monster brewin'! Ready to talk all the fustration that I can't say in front of my clients, due to my "professional ethics" of course!

My day as a nailtech....

My day as a nailtech was just, ducky. (You know the sarcasm is just itching to come out right now). I showed up today to realize that my 11 hour day that is usually booked with soccer moms and senior citizens, as well as the busy working woman.. had shrunk to 1 soccer mom who by the way is 40 yrs. old...My beautiful lil' old lady who is 79 yrs old and drives a 2004 infinity sports car. And last but not least my 24 year old client who is gung-ho about her career, but has no clue about any other type of culture but her own.. So just three people. Not to ention the customer today who asked me how my sewing was going, and when i told her that I managed to make my own Fitted Bed Sheets, she made it seem like I had 3 heads...Maybe i was just not in the mood. I could be pmsing. Maybe I just didn't want to be a nailtech today. My highlight.....well I got to spend time with my sister in elmos world....
