Don'tcha just wish

Don'tcha just wish you could return the favor to spammers?
Flood their in box with loud screaming "HEY YOU!" subject lines?
I really have no idea why they continue considering most of us
have filters on our email accounts.

I dislike commercials on TV, and I doubly dislike them in my mail.

In my opinion it takes a special kind of asshole to be a spammer.

Nuff said,

The case of the Exploding hair!

For the last 9 months (or longer) I have foregone cutting my hair. Yes, it has grown quite long, a lot of that due to not having the cash for a cut, and some due to my own need for a different look.  Today was the straw that tipped the scale over to "Cut if Off!"

Humidity is not my friend, at least not with my current hair length, which is to my shoulder blades. Yes, it does have a certain amount of natural curl. I use extra conditioner, and 2 hair products which are basically oils to keep it tame. I can remember my youth and almost waist length perfectly straight hair. Unfortunately my hair is predominantly gray, never mind that the gray has been colored for age coverage. My gray hair? Totally has a mind of it's own. Cork screw curls or completely frizzy depends on the weather entirely.

Now that Summer is approaching the humidity has returned and with it....Hair Explosion!

I stopped on this seriously busy night and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror...YEA GADS!
My hair was everywhere, like it's own exploration team, trying to cover all the bases everywhere.
Poodle poof has nothing on me,.It was very humid, and with a jacket and a long sleeved blouse I felt like I had taken a shower mid shift and had forgotten to dry off afterwards. There was no taming it, one head band and two big barrettes could not hold it down. I worked damage control all night to no avail.

So naturally I am considering returning to a manageable length, one where it does not "poof", with the weather. I had hoped to be able to have length enough to pull it up for the hotter months. Now I do not feel that it is a viable option. Since we do Not run around with mirrors while working, I can only imagine what our guests were thinking when they saw my unruly mop. ( oh poor girl! She looks like Glenda the good witch.)

Yes, it is nice to have a change of hair styles, it keeps us fresh and not bored with our looks. But sometimes those changes do not work in our favor. My curiosity has been appeased, I surrender to the blade that can stop the hair explosion. I shall be calling my angel with scissors on Monday to tackle the jungle that my hair has become.

For your own safety, please stay far away from my hair...it might grab and suck you in....

Derby Madness

A wickedly busy day, and record crowds all blurred together now at the end of my evening. We have several racing days during our year that push the capacity of our Off Track Wagering and actual track area. When 350 people are leaving all at once into the casino? Yes, a challenge. But as usual Swing kicked butt, even running with less than normal staffing.

Every race day of the Triple Crown books our track side fine dining for 1000 for dinner, with overflow into the Ballroom,  reservations are a must. I saw a few cute hats today and made sure I told the guest that is was very nice. It's a shame more do not get into the spirit of things. Maybe next year we should have a contest for the best hats?

I'm proud to be part of our team because we really do rock. Quite often our busiest days are when we really shine and feel like family.

G'nite
