My other grinder is still people but not about detail just about oh I
dunno having a filter! Are manners no longer taught?!?!? My momma
always taught me if I would be insulted by whatever I am thinking then I
should keep it to myself because the person I am thinking it about will
probably be upset by it as well. As in "if you can't say something nice, say NOTHING!".
It is wonderful advice, people really should live by this. I am mean don't be unnecessarily rude to people, they probably already know ______ about themselves. You pointing it out is not helping. So what
happened you may wonder. Well you see as I've stated before I don't
wear make-up daily and when I do it is not much. I had many appointments the other day so I was dressed up (with make-up) and an associate of mine said something about me looking very pretty (aw, gee thanks). Since that day I've worn almost no makeup. Every single day since that day he has said "what the matter, you tired?" With a concerned look. Huh??? I can be chipper and bright and smiling and happy and he says "you no look happy, maybe go home, get sleep." WTF dude?!? The is not nice. I might not look like a Disney Princess everyday but I don't look like death either, thank you very much!
I've been informed by others that they wish they could not wear makeup
like I do. I have a natural coloring so I don't look pale or sickly. I
usually wear a tinted SPF lotion on my face and lip gloss or Chapstick
but that is it. I made a comment about this in front of a few men and a few women. The women were like WTF, rude and the men were like well you do look better with make-up. EXCUSE ME?!? Yes of course I do! Everyone (including MEN) looks
better with make-up! But ya know what assholes, the day you have to
spend over an hour covering every blemish/mole/wrinkle/whatever and
ironing your hair so you can look "pretty" for a bunch of uncultured swine is the day I might consider wearing make-up more often. I
dress nicely, I don't look like a homeless person, what is the
problem? Of course they are like, if you are so comfortable then why
wear make-up for clients. You know why!!! Because that was the effing
agreement I made 10 years ago when the older ass that used to work here
made a HUGE deal about me not wearing makeup EVER. He said it was unprofessional, that is right UNPROFESSIONAL, to go on appointments with out makeup. Um I fixed my hair, I wore nice clothes...NOT ONE person complained but him. So my compromise (because I am an adult and know what that is) was OK fine,
I'll wear it on appointments but other than that bite me. And so that
is where we are today. Oh yea and wearing makeup is not in the
handbook. All it says is DRESS professionally, which I do.
I just, that is rude...right?!? Women do NOT have
to wear makeup. Many choose to do it and that is fine but it is not a
requirement. It's not like I am going topless or dressed in rags!!!
God forbid I show some leg/collarbone AND don't wear make-up....oh the unprofessionalism! Gosh I am such a harlot...just sew the scarlet letter on me now. I feel like the expectation that I MUST wear something that I do not feel comfortable in just to be viewed as "pretty" is so antiquated. I
know I am attractive without makeup..if I wasn't people wouldn't hit on
me at the grocery when I am in 'rags', no make-up and my hair isn't
brushed properly. I look just fine without it, I look just fine with
it...it should be my choice whether or not I wear it. I should not have
to concern myself with the ideas that you may not find me as PROFESSIONAL because I choose to keep the make-up to a minimum.
My point is me "dressing up" isn't so that people will say "oh you look pretty today". Just like me NOT dressing
up doesn't mean you can tell me I look like crap. If you want to tell
me I look nice fine, whatever but please by all means keep the "you look like shit" comments to yourself. I don't need either. Just treat me like you always should, kindly!
Side Note - If they update the handbook to say "must wear make-up" I may lose my shit
