So, I usually love my manicurist but today she totally wrecked the zen of my appointment. She used MY time to try and sell me on this web based vertical marketing scheme. This pyramid thing that she has gotten into. I am sorry, that is totally inappropriate. I am paying her to do my nails, not to sell me sh*t. This will get me to stop going there. It really well. I had a great hair appointment and then this crap. I have another nail salon I can go to where they don't even talk to you and that sounds way better. They play soothing music and just let you be. Honestly, I don't need this. I am paying her!

I told my friend J*** what happened and she was like, no, not appropriate. Comments and feedback welcome. I am so mad about this. I have enough stress as it is. I don't need someone in my face, selling me on crazy web sites and pyramid schemes.

So mad about it. My nails look great but I was so tense when I left there, it almost does not matter.

I get my hair done there but can just make my hair thing and skip nails. I am getting a headache again just doing this post. So not relaxing. Augh!

Has this ever happened to any of you?

I started out sick and then got deeply immersed in work things and mishigas. But one thing I do know, after a meeting with my supervisor, the Assistant Dean for External Relations, is that we have a meeting of the minds as far as my work goes and she has recommended a restructuring which places me in our team as the events manager -- very happy about that! My position will include more writing and liaison activities as part of my management of development and fundraising events. More fun stuff. This validates what I am already doing because my current classification is totally out of whack with what my position has evolved into and is a way to catch me up so that my title reflects the work I am performing. Very happy.

All good things take time and I hope to receive reclass and raise by October (end). I have asked for a salary commensurate with my newly articulated position. I don't know what that will get me but somewhat more, I hope.

None of this can be mentioned on Facebook, at all as work people read over there and this is confidential at this point. So keep this hush hush...on the down-low and very discreet. No one will post about this and me on Facebook, got it? Good.

I am happy about these turns in events. All things take time and I have been patient so far, best to be more so and nail the job down.


Other news:
I got my nails done right after work with this impervious shellac stuff. A stronger, chip resistant nail polish that should last for weeks. I am dubious but willing to see if it works. I will let you know about that through my own, personal review. I got pink polish and let's see how it wears and goes.

Anyhoo. I have some plan for the weekend - going to see Planet of the Apes and clean some clothes. Not in that order at all. I ramble and should go to bed. So I will bid you good night and toodle loo.

Cheers to you all and to all a good night!

The clothed ones are totally HOT. I love this photo from a denim spread in Fantastics Magazine. Trying to use different sources. Hope you like this one!

*Semi safe for work but I still would not*

The man is this way... )

In other news...
It is a cold, rainy and stormy weekend here in the Bay Area of California. Windy, cold, thunder and lightning. I had to cancel my walk yesterday and have to see what goes with today's planned walk too. It is all TBD due to the inclement weather.

I am getting my nails done at the salon today. Just a manicure as my feet still look good from my pedicure that I got a while ago. She does good work. I like feeling like I am together. I found a nice deep, dark red color at the Beauty Store so will have my person put that on. She does not mind using my colors.

This week is Spring Break at the Uni so it will be less busy at work and I have Friday off from work for Cezar Chavez Day. Yays! That also coincides with the release of the movie Sucker Punch so wootles. One-two, I am happy.

Hope all is well with you there and that things are well with you. Have a good week! I have more meme-age planned.
