At the salon

So when I got back to work after a weekend off, I come to find out that one of our clients is really, really pissed off at Amy Sue. Now when I say pissed off I mean so pissed she is taking us to court, yes I did say court. A week or so ago she got hair extensions put in-the ones that cost like $ 1200. She called a few days later saying they hurt and felt heavy and she thought they were damaged. So our policy is to have the person come back and we can fix the problems. Which she did and all seemed fine. Then on Saturday she came back and wanted them taken out, now keep in mind she just spent $1200 a week earlier to get them put in. So naturally you know she wanted her money back but we did our job to her satisfaction, she was happy both times she left. So now her husband comes into the picture(he conveniently was in Korea when she made her decision to spend the money) and he is pissed off too, comes in the salon which is full with clients and makes a huge scene, wanting his money back and being just out of hand. So she gives him the info for the company to call to see if they will give him the money back. About an hour later he calls back and said she is responsible for the refund. She's still holding her ground and said no. Fast foward to yesterday, we get a letter from her lawyer that they are suing us to get the money back. And to top it off we also got a letter from the better business bureau that they filed a complaint there as well. That's when Amy Sue got pissed they didn't have to take it there. So she said "bring it on, they are going to spend way more money then the $1200 they aready put out".

Can you believe what poeple won't do to get their money back. I guess it's different when it's $1200 verses $100 for color and a haircut. We never had someone that we couldn't make happy. As this goes on I can't wait to see how it unfolds......

A few more pix from quad fest...Thanks to Tia!!

QUAD FEST

Well, Quad Fest was alot of fun. I was a little leary to get on the 4 wheler again but it went well. Of course, mean greenie didn't hold up for the whole weekend so I had to ride someone elses. You worry about wrecking someone elses quad when you do that. It was an easier quad for me to handle so I was happy to ride it. The trails were really dusty so it was hard to see what was coming ahead. It was hot during the day, but cool at night. All in all we had a good time. I'm glad Shad & Chrissy found out about the event, we had a blast!!

At work

I am SO happy!!! We have this stylist at work that takes advantage of Amy Sue every chance she gets. She's always late to work, does what she wants all the time oh, and did I mention she is a CRACKHEAD... and apparently she has sticky fingers. Her name was in the paper for retail theft. That was the end of the line for Amy Sue. She told her a while ago if her name is in the paper, she's fired. She's gotten caught with drugs in her car, past due parking tickets, underage drinking, need I say more....I'm surprised her name wasn't in sooner. So yesterday she got the call that she was fired...oh poor girl...Whatever!!!!! It was not too soon for me, she just had some kind of drama all the time. So now we are back to our happy little family with everyone that has normal lives and normal families and normal friends....Well, at least they seem normal!!!!

Happenings

Well, we participated in the 2008 Muddy Buddy this past Sunday and... well we didn't beat the guys. I know,I know you are all in shock, so were we. I guess they were just faster at it then we anticipated. The thing that's upsetting about it is the guys only started training for this like 4 weeks ago. Susan and I have been running for years. We thought we had it in the bag. So did everyone else based on all the side bets among our friends. I think we lost alot of money for some people. Note to them: only bet on a sure thing!!!!! We'll come back next year, I can bet you that...and that is a sure thing!!!!!

At home

As you all know, Sam is like a child to me. On Sunday when we got home from our weekend in NJ visiting Ryan, Betsy and Wil we noticed a tennis ball size lump on Sam's shoulder. Well, of course I think the worst right away. Our visit at the Vet said different, it was just a bad bruise from some kind of trauma. I'm not sure what the trauma was but at least it's not some kind of tumor....

Happenings

This weekend myself, Susan, Shawn and Rich are competing in the 2008 Muddy Buddy in Richmond, VA. Is a running/biking race where teams of 2 complete a 6.3 mile course leapfrogging from running and biking and a few obstacules along the way and apparently alot of mud pits to try to win!!! Of course nothing like this goes without a freindly bet between teams, girls against guys. The winning team gets dinner from the LOSERS. Well, that means Shawn and I pay no matter what. I get pretty competative when it comes to this kind of thing so this should be good.....

Well, I just had to do this. Tia sent me her blogpage and it looked like fun. I hear all kinds of things at work and some I just can't let go without telling someone. So now if I have to talk about it I can and you can comment on it as well. I'll also throw in some stuff about me as well just to keep it personal.
