Forgotten

Oh dear.

I realized that I had forgotten to tell you about what happened at work after our skiing trip in March.

As I said in the post, I had hurt my arm.

I still went to work, feeling staying at home would be silly since I could still do some treatments.

So I had phoned them during our skiing trip to ask them not to put any "active" treatments on my planning. That meant :

No massages of any kind

No CM6

No oriental waxing (normal waxing was ok if it wasn't done using strips)

See, not very hard.

What I could do was :

Permanent make-up

Lash extensions

Facials

Waxing

Eyelash&eyebrow treatments

Body Excel

Hand&foot treatments

I made sure all the girls knew it so that we wouldn't be forced to change cancel the wrong treatments put in my planning. I even wrote in on my planning on each day so that they'd remember, and I even added a smiley face :)

So after a few days of work, my arm started to hurt.

I then decided that it'd be better to write the same thing on my planning for the following week, since my arm was not feeling any better.

As I started to write my little note, my superiors, Domi, noticed what I was doing and said to me : "If you continue writing like that on your planning, the boss will not like it."

I looked at her pretty perplexed and said "what? Why not? Would she prefer I hurt my arm more?" She just shrugged and told me that she'd warned me.

I started to fume.

I called Oliv during lunch break and he advised me on the words I should use when talking to my boss. Poor guy, he has to help me with everything...

So when the boss was working at the reception and I had 2 minutes to spare, I went to see her.

-Um, I was led to believe that the fact that I can't do every treatment could be disturbing ?

"Well, yes, because you come to work and you are paid to do nothing."

-*WTF* Um, I do not understand why you would say that, because if you look at Monday *I start flipping the pages of the planning* my planning was complete, Tuesday my planning was complete, yesterday same, today I have 30mins to spare and Saturday I'm completely booked. I know I can't do everything, but I am still capable of doing the treatments of the highest worth (lashes, make up). And next week, Monday I have no more room to spare, Tuesday I'm almost completely packed unlike a few other girls that can do all the different treatments, Wednesday is pretty much open, but HEY, if you insist I'm better off at home than working, I'll take next week off since I am going to see the doctor tomorrow.

*Boss looks at my planning, flipping the pages*

"No, I would prefer it if you'd come to work."

-*WELL THEN STFU* Yes.

"And you're seeing the doctor?"

-Yup, my arm's started to hurt, that's why I wanted to avoid having to do certain treatments.

"*looks at the following week* We could put this client on someone else so that you won't stress your arm. *starts to scribble on the planning*"

-Sure, much obliged. Gotta go work now.

I was so angry before, but it felt good to show her how I really felt and that I don't just "do nothing" even if I am hurt. I mean, I have a hurting arm and I come to work to earn you money and for you it's BAD BUSINESS ?!

Or my superior who found the planning so difficult to organize with one person to take in consideration. WTF.

Oh well. I went to see the Dr who told me I had a double contusion on the arm (elbow, wrist) and I was to wear a wrist support (which a colleague of mine lent me). He wanted to put me on sick leave for a week but I refused.

When my superior found out, she asked me "Well why didn't you?"

-It would've been a bit of a shame, no, had I not come to work, planning packed as it is?

"Well sure."

-*blank stare of then-why-did-you-even-ask"

Gah.

The arm is completely healed now. Everything is allllll good.

Well except that I still need to go talk with my boss about changing the date for my operation....

She's on vacation.

Figures.
