Mental note...
When your ten year old daughter tells you that you have a small uneven section on the back of your hair, do not hand her the scissor and tell her to snip it off.
BIG MISTAKE.
As I frantically beg to be worked in for a hair appointment this afternoon, I will update you kids on my solution to the office political bullshit from hell. As some of you may remember from this post..(go check, I'll wait), I wasn't quite sure how to work out a system to keep everyone employed and still do what is good for the company. After changing job descriptions of six employees, I was able to juggle the staff so that everyone still has a job. Of course no one is thrilled. They don't realize that for a few of them it was change jobs or be let go. I can tolerate some grumbling but I did have to come down on one gal Friday and inform her that if she doesn't like it, she can leave.
She did show up this morning and so far as kept her pie hole shut.
The hardest part of the entire thing was meeting individually with these people to discuss the changes. Some people did end up losing hours and that is a hard thing to have to deal with. However, times are tough and I refuse to behave like a big nameless corporation that puts profit over people. Cut and slash would have been the most cost efficient but I do need to sleep at night and would rather not sleep with one eye opened.
Have a great week kiddos.
52 days until Christmas.
I'll put up my wish list soon to give you all plenty of time to shop.

Please tell me this isn't your kid in the picture ?
LOL. Naaaa. She butchered my hair, not the other way around.
Oh dear hope you got your hair fixed!
I think you did the right thing. When you see someone good, you gotta snatch her up!
hahaha! if you really wanna ever threaten your kid, just say, "sometime when you're asleep..."...or if it's your son, & he pisses you off, wait til he's asleep & shave one eyebrow off!
I would have first gone out to the minions and told them that there are some changes going to be made. “These changes are put in place so that each of you will still have a job. Without these changes some of you would have to be let go. So now I will talk to each of you individually and explain your new assignment. If you are not happy with these changes you are free to leave with my blessings.” Then call each one in and allow them to kiss your feet and grovel their appreciation for still having a job.
Yup..CP has definitely been in corporate management!
All I can say is that you are either brave or stupid for handing the princess those scissors. Hope it got fixed!
Oh bravery had nothing to do with it. It was pure stupidity. At 6am this morning without coffee in my system it seemed like a reasonable thing to do. Apparently not.
Remember your mom telling you not to run with scissors. Same principle, never hand over the task to an untrained professional. Now what do you want for Christmas. Eh, Bentley's are out of the question. They take to long to build and have them shipped. LOL
tiffany only cut all her Barbie's hair when she was 4....
