b/c I have time now...
But I probably won't write for a while, as I am starting work again next week. Bastards at QFC gave me 27 friggin hours when I told them last week that there was no way I could handle over 20 with summer school. I feel really bad, but I'm gonna have to call in sick already... I have 2 more bloody midterms and an econ quiz that I already had to postpone due to checker training. So yeah, outlook on life for the short-term is a little bleak.In more depressing news, I went to go get a haircut today at my typical place, Great Clips on the island. Usually, they don't due a great job, it's passable and I don't care too much because I'm a guy and all I really need to due is gel it in an aerodynamic yet stylish way. Not this time. This time was much different. So I walk in and I see 3 barbers. 2 of which I had had before cut my hair, and neither did a fantastic job. Then I saw this middle aged asian-looking but could've also been some other ethnicity w/ dark skin & black hair. I thought, man, finally an asian lady to cut my hair! Boy was I more wrong than ever. She sat me down and asked me how I wanted it. I gave my typical generic yet at times ambigious answer(because I still am not really sure how to describe the hair I want) to her and she said, "like that picture?" pointing to a picture of a kid w/ a similar hair style that I usually sported. I say "Yeah, kinda like that, and keep the front of my hair slightly longer than the rest of my hair." So then she picks up the sheers and takes a little longer than a barber does with putting the clip on. This didn't startle me at first, but once she started hacking, and I mean hacking, I was getting more and more nervous by the minute. She ran that electrical sheers through my hair like a lawnmower and I just kept on telling myself, Dude, it's pretty hard to screw this up since there's a set clip that keeps hair a certain length. So I do the crazy, and ask "So how long have you been working here, I haven't seen you around before." She replies, "Oh... just 2 months... *5 second pause*... So what are you doing this summer, working at all?" "yes................." And then there was silence for the rest of the time, as I silently screamed my heart out as I saw her attempt to use scissors to cut my front hair... GOOD GOD I screamed in my head as she cut WAAYYY too much with her scissors. I wanted to tell her to stop, but for some reason I couldn't reason myself to do it. I thought, it's too late Jason, she's already done too much damage, another barber couldn't save this sad heep of protein that used to be your once beautiful locks. So afterwards I just walked out and made a dash to my car, hoping not to be noticed by anyone I knew...
I've decided from now on, I'm not gonna be tempted by low prices and convience of location when picking my barber from now on. I can't stand this ever happening again. I pretty much got a buzz cut from this lady, and I could get one of those for like $5 on the ave or something. I didn't pay $14 for some inexperienced lady to practice her hacking-jutsu on my hair. So if any of you know of a good barber that they can recommend in either Bellevue or near downtown Seattle that cuts asian hair, LET ME KNOW. I need a new place to cut my hair with seasoned barbers. I'm willing to pay a decent amount I guess, but nothing extravagant. Like I wouldn't go to Jean Guarez for a cut. I'm not that concerned about getting a good cut... although I wish all barbers were required to get the same amount of training their barbers did... =/
