Yesterday my hair dryer stopped working. It was very unexpected so I figured something was wrong with it. So today I tried to fix it. I cleaned out the filter. Didn't work. The cord has a note on it that says if it stops working unplug it, press the reset button and try again. Still didn't work. Then it says to read the operational manual to fix it. I bought the stupid thing a year ago and did not keep the operational manual to my hair dryer. Stupid stupid hair dryer. The really stupid thing is that I'm pretty sure it has a warranty on it but I didn't keep that information either because my last hair dryer lasted for about 3 years and when it was getting to the end of its life I knew it. It was acting like it was about to die. I was prepared for it. I knew I was going to have to buy a new hair dryer. This time it was sudden and unexpected. I am very distraught over this. It may not seem like a big deal but I have long hair. Not being able to dry my hair for work is a big deal! My hair looked like crap today and I was not prepared for that which put me in a bad mood for work today. So, after work I headed to Target to get a new dryer. I found the exact same dryer I had for $11.99 (which is cheaper than I originally bought it). Sure enough it had a 2 year warranty. So I bought and am going to see if I can turn it in for an new dryer and then mayber return the one I bought or just keep it and have two since this dryer is apparently not very good. Then I went and got a hair to relieve my poor hair. (As the lady who cut my hair told me I was much in need of trim anyway.) I went to the Hair Cuttery my mom went to recnetly because she told me she really liked the people there. This woman cut my hair who seemed really unhappy. She was pleasant and very nice and did a good job of cutting my hair. Not so good at the styling but then I didn't offer much help as to what I wanted. Anyway, point being I probably wouldn't go back to her except that she seems like such a sad person. When I got there she was sitting at the desk looking very melancholy. She was very nice when she was cutting my hair and talked to me more than anyone who usually cuts my hair trys to talk to me (since I don't offer much at conversation I give her extra points for trying extra hard). And then when it was all done she just sat back down in the chair and assumed her melancholy position. I saw her sitting there as I was driving away. Maybe it was just the bad weather that put her in mood or maybe it is my overactive imagination but for some reason I really feel sorry for this woman. I can't explain it but I just feel for her. It's like as much as I need something to go right in my life she needs it more. Anyway, I'm sure I sound crazy but I hope she wins the lottery or gets whatever it is she wants to make her happier because I can't afford all the stuff she was trying to sell me which I'm sure would have improved her mood but I know I'll be going back to her and hopefully she'll be in better spirits so I don't end up spending a fortune at the Hair Cuttery.
And I'm still very disturbed about my hair dryer...grrrr...only one year I had it! I expect better service than that!! Stupid hair dryer!!!
