Woman in the Middle

Please forgive me that I am little behind in my blogging. Trying to balance life and new job is a challenge at times. I hope you enjoy the following true story.

I was at my every six weeks appointment with my hair dresser last week  She has a booth near her long time friend and fellow hair dresser, who, in the interests of anonymity, I will call “Carol.”  Carol told us that she was still in her pajamas that morning when a city road crew showed up and without even so much as a howdy doo started digging a hole in her front yard out by the curb. She decided to ignore them as she had to get dressed and go to work. Later that day she got a call from her son. It seems that, due to some road work being done in the area, the city decided it needed a big orange information sign planted in her yard.     The road work is going to be gong on for quite a long time so this sign was going to be a permanent part of Carol’s front yard landscaping for quite a while. So nice of the city to not even mention that they planned on putting the sign in her yard, wasn’t it? (FYI, it wasn’t my city)

Carol has a large client list and she quickly flipped through some names until she spied a person that works for the city’s street department. She called her client right then and there and explained the problem. Her client’s response was “Oh Nooo, they did what?”  Carol’s client vowed to have the sign out of Carol’s front yard the next day.

Seriously, do not mess with a hairdresser. They KNOW people!!!
