Yeah, the hob is gas so works fine (the ignition died when the switch tripped but came back once I reset it). Guessing the heating coil went or something. Scared the crap out of me, though!
Congrats on the job! My hairdressers often fail to listen to me, too. Mainly when I say that despite *looking* straight, the bottom part in particular is curly enough that they are very likely to cut off not quite the amount they thought they would. Second cuts tend to work better...
it's ended up slightly shorter in a few bits than I'd have liked, due to the hairdresser underestimating how much it would 'bounce' once it dried. Still better than I could do myself though, and I got a deep conditioning treatment too. Though I suspect most of the benefit of that was cancelled out by the blow-drying.
Excellent news on the job front; I hope you get to fit in your relaxation and then enjoy the new job when it starts.
I fear all hairdressers and avoid them - but I've certainly heard an enormous number of people bewailing that hairdressers Just Don't Get curly hair. Which seems like a weird omission, given that you'd think they'd see it pretty often...
Most hairdressers seem to want to straighten curly hair - because that's what's fashionable. I had one try it once when I was in my teens (and they gave me this godawful wedge cut that made me look like a cadaver in a wig...) and I've never allowed it since. I literally cried the whole way home on the bus.
Not all curly hair is created equal, either - there are several distinct types, ranging from the slightly wavy through loose curls to the full-on afro. There are whole books dedicated to the care of curls, like the Curly Girl Handbook.
Ha. And when I was about 14, I got an accidental afro perm. After two days of mocking by classmates and convincing my mother "it will relax" wasn't happening, I went back, got them to fix it, and swore off perms forever.

That's annoying about the oven. Hopefully at least the stovetop still works.
