Let me tell you. Here's how my day was: After working online with The Event till 1am & still not getting all my emails answered, I slept fitfully, dreaming that the possible brown recluse spider which bit my husband might be lurking in our house. After tending to his disgusting, seeping wound for several days, we're praying that he heals good & in time to leave town next week for Gatlinburg. Complications for him could mean hospitalization, loss of limb, or life. Then I was up & online again at 8am to work on The Event. I never did get all the emails answered & many were from techs & educators asking me questions that: a) I'd already sent them that info several times in the past- they just didn't read it. b) the info they wanted has been posted on the web site www.nailtechevent.com since last year- they just didn't read it. I've reached the conclusion that nobody reads anymore. Never completing what I needed to, I rushed off to feed our dogs, shower, had 25 minutes to fix my hair and do my makeup, then I stuffed cereal down my throat before I hurriedly brushed my teeth. I'm creeped out because I hear noises up in the attic...could be a bird that pecked its way thru our cedar siding (it happened before with a woodpecker) or it could be a mouse. No time to investigate it tho. I leave a message for the hubby to check into it when he gets off work before me. Then I drove to work listening to voicemails on the way. At the salon I had back-to-back clients which means no breaks and no time to answer the phone. I love all my clients, but being a solo tech at this time is very stressful. My phone kept ringing with calls, texts, some left voicemails, others just hung up. I got my messages on my "lunch break" which consisted of a weight loss shake & me driving over to the pharmacy to get more bandages, gauze, tape, and a first aid kit for our trip. I made an appointment for the pest control company to spray our house when we return from Gatlinburg, too. We have no idea where the spider bite came from, but better safe than sorry. Checked my messages on the way back to the salon. Couldn't make out what 1 techs message was, but they wanted me to call them back. When I did, it went to voicemail so all I could do was direct them to our web site for info. 2nd message I returned was from another tech...I'd already emailed her the info she was requesting....I also left her a voice message. Then I had to call the office manager at Urgent Care and protest why we should get a bill from them when they didn't treat my husband, which resulted in him having to go the very next day (less than 20 hours later) to see his GP....whereupon he got 2 shots in his wound, then had it cut open and the infection pressed out of it by a nurse. You couldn't pay me enough money to do her job. So now we'll have 2 medical bills instead of 1, thanks to the ineptitude of our Bowling Green Urgent Care. At this point I now feel like crying due to the frustration and stress. Back at the salon I ran 15 min. late on a clients bad nails, so that put me getting finished doing nails at around 7:45pm tonight. Then I had 3 packages to open because for whatever reason some companies don't want to send product donations in advance, photograph them all, and make notes to send thank you's to the companies. I didn't leave the salon until after 8:45pm. I eat a quick bite of leftovers once I get home, change my husband's nasty bandage again, discover that he never did go up to check the noises in the attic, plus he forgot to get the strawberries from the grocery that he was supposed to bring home. After which I snap on his head because I find out he signed up for the football package on cable....even tho we JUST had to pay self employment taxes this week! Since I'm self employed and will be off work until July I've also had to pay every bill for this month BEFORE we leave town and he knew that. Gggrrrrr! After telling him how selfish he is...only thinking of himself, I inquire about the wisdom of signing up for more bills right before we leave town.....when he won't even be able to watch the cable that we're paying money for while we're gone. Now he's duly shamed and does the only responsible thing....he calls the cable company and cancels it while we still can without being charged. We agree to revisit this football package issue later next month. Then I begin my 2nd job again....woking online with the Nail Tech Event of the Smokies. I'll be up till midnight at least with all the online work that I have to handle by myself because ......well, that's just the way it is until I can afford to hire outside resources to help me manage this Event business. For now, I'm a company of 1 and The Event is my baby, so I've got to take care of it. This whining has made me feel slightly better now:) No wonder this week I've had a glass of wine every night. And that's how my day was!

I told her that my next available appointment was this week. She called me right at her appointment time and said she was in bumper to bumper traffic. I said don't worry and she came only about 5 mins. late. She said her friend in Fla. has "Dashing Diva French Shellac" I explained I have both Dashing Diva and Shellac which are two different things. She seemed confused and I explained the difference. But more so she just wanted what her friend had. I told her that the tech probably mixed the two and made up this service, which I could do also. I started to file her nails, she took her hand from me and said I want them more square. I made them more square, she said they weren't square enough and then got up and said this isn't working and left. By the way I have been doing nails for 21 years and think I have the whole square nails thing down now. I'm so sick of NSS salons making up bs and telling people they have "Shellac" or gel or whatever, then I have to suffer through trying to get the crap of their nails. I'm sure this girl will be leaving bad comments on Yelp or Facebook also, since she found us on the web and is tech savvy. I spend half my day on the phone or face to face trying to educate people. It's starting to get on my last nerve. So how was your day? Lauren the tired biotch in Knoxville.
