The Ugly Side

I thought it may have been the caffeine, but I was full of anxiety much of the day. I sat at my desk entering data and my insides were jumping. It was not exciting, but more negative. I started thinking about how skilled I am and how I am still struggling. How much I think of and give to others and how rarely others give back. I was ready to change my Facebook status to reflect that idea, but decided against it. It's not anyone's problem, but mine. I eventually let that anger go and kept working. It's a tough time and most everyone is out for his/herself. I really need a personal heart to heart to figure out my next steps. I know that I can do anything, I just have to figure out what I truly want.

I headed into the city after work to meet with Lauren and Nathan for a glass of wine before they met other friends for dinner. I had a few hours to kill and decided to get my brows waxed since I was not really hungry. As I entered the building off Market there was a woman ahead of me who opened the door for herself and basically let it slam in my face. I entered behind her and loudly said, "thanks!" She turned around to look at me, a little surprised that someone would stop her. But her actions were unchanged. It's not the first time I have done this. It really drives me crazy when people are so unaware of others. So selfish.

There was a sign at the entrance that all guests had to sign in at the desk. At first I didn't see an attendant, so I was going to walk on by, but since I didn't want to ride in an elevator with this bitch, I decided to hang back and sign in. The attendant appeared and stopped the rude woman and asked her to come back and sign in. At first she said no because she was late, but he said that he would not allow her up if she didn't follow instructions. As I was filling out the form the woman grabbed another pen that was attached to another clipboard and tried to drag it over to where I was. The attendant asked her to wait and she complained that there should be a second form since she was late for her hair appointment. The fine man held her back and after I signed in, I walked quickly to the elevator so she would have to catch the next one. As I walked away I let out a cackle. Yes, it was a cackle. Loud and obnoxious. It was so evil and wrong, but it felt so good. It actually sounded fake and I ran out of the air at the end. I started to analyze for the laughter section of Funny Bone.

Needless to say the woman had the same destination as me - a little nail salon on the 7th floor. I sat in the waiting area reading one of the scripts Jasson loaned me and she waltzed in and loudly greeted one of the estheticians. She sat down to wait at one of the manicure stations. SHE WAITED. She could not be bothered about signing in and then had to wait. About 5 minutes later, she called back to the waxing technician that she needed to get her hair done and she would come back in an hour. I let it go by this point and luckily the woman did not confront me either.

And now I have stunning brows.
