Well, didn't get off to a great start as it's Dec. 2 and I'm writing Dec. 1's blog. Oh well. To be fair, I did start writing it yesterday (well, I got the prompt at least). Okay, enough excuses...here goes.
Doing the A-B-C thing again:
As it rolled off her tongue, she knew it wasn’t coming out right. But she said it anyway.
“Cute haircut,” she said with a tone of that’s-really-not-a-good-look-for-you.
“Don’t be rude,” her co-worker responded.
“Eww! Is that what you want me to say?!”
“Fuck you.”
Great, she thought. Haircuts really shouldn’t be that big of a deal now that we are past our teens. In reality, however, they are. Just hair, you tell yourself, but everyone knows it’s just not true—it’s part of who we are. Keeping up with the trends, hair included, isn’t an easy task. Loose curls or an awesome up-do…doesn’t matter, it’s all about how you feel wearing it. Men have it so easy, us ladies think at least. No one knew really how big this misspoken compliment was. Oh shit, she thought, not getting a raise this year. Poor choice as the compliment was directed at her boss. Quite the bad move for the day. Rudeness was just who she was. She didn’t know how to kiss ass, and apparently that was a requirement they failed to mention on her first interview. This was the 3rd year as a lowly assistant, and it had now been confirmed it wasn’t her year to move up the food chain. Ugh, she thought. Very shitty. Well, there are worse things, I guess, like having a bad haircut, she said to herself.
“X product doesn’t do your hair any good either,” she shouted past her boss’ desk.
“You’re so rude! Zip it, and you’re fired.”
