Yeah my kid had a SSN pretty quickly after being born. He even has a passport because we were supposed to be going to Thailand (where he was then going to get dual citizenship through my wife) in April but that got pushed.

Speaking of the kid, he's noticeably sick for the first time. Just a head cold but boy this sucks huh! And naturally, he gave it to my wife and me as well.

How much morning prep and product will you need to maintain that mane?

I'm planning the same but Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China. I'm tall and thin, so I think a tank with luscious mullet locks would look great.

Then I'm going to have to ruin it and get the hair chopped off for a stupid wedding :bahgawd:

Much more than you think. Pomade, mousse, and blow drying with a round brush at minimum. Frequent trims to keep it from getting flat and mullet-y.

Speaking of hair, I made the decision to break up with my barber this morning

There’s a spot on my hair that always looks weird when I style it because of how she cuts it, and every time I go to her I ask her to just try to cut that part down and every time she refuses to cut how I ask her to because “it’ll look weird” and talks me out of it, then every time I style my hair the next morning and guess what it looks weird anyway

I know that pain. I really liked my barbershop when I lived at my last place, but I've tried 3 different places in my new area and none of them are quite making the... cut. :sigh:

No product, best thing to do is after conditioning and getting out of shower just very lightly towel dry and leave it mostly wet, it dries into a very great style that way

:owned:

If it makes you feel better, they bait-and-switched me on the processing time. I opted not to expedite because they said it was going to be 7-9 weeks, which was going to be plenty of time. Then once they accepted my application it became “actually it’s 11-12 weeks” so I had to pony up for the expedited processing.

We renewed ours and got our kiddo’s first, and even without expedited service it was super short. Seems like the delays ebb and flow. Must be seasonal. I think we put ours in last august or September and had them in-hand in less than 6 weeks.

I haven't made hardly any sales this week. My weekly sales numbers were just starting to improve on a consistent basis and then this loving ice storm happened and now I'm back to almost zero.

I am so loving bad at selling it's honestly a wonder I haven't been fired yet.

I'm supposed to be doing $15K/week in sales minimum just to stay employed at this place, and I have not hit that number once in the 4 months since I started this job. The other guy I work with did loving double that number his first week, and just pulled a goddamn $90K this past week in Austin.

If your hearts not in it you won't ever enjoy it. Sales never got my dick hard and while I can do it and not do the sleazy sales pitches etc I'd never make it as a rep because I can't stand the fact that sales seems to be like 40% people that are sleazy douchebags you want to kick down the stairs and 40% people who simp for their customers so badly and will make a lot more work for everyone around them by agreeing to dumb stuff.

While you've got your job its probably the best time to start hunting for something else. Speaking from recent experience your anxiety about your job will go down if you're not enjoying it at all if you're actively trying to change it.

The true trick to sales, especially something like what you are selling, is to just be patient and nice and eventually find your whale. The guy that is the President of the HOA, or some type of community decision maker, where him utilizing your services means that 90K sale is like one or two clients.

Seems like selling cars would be a good gig these days. My experience buying a car last year was basically walking into the dealership and having them tell me "well here are the four cars we have and six more that might be coming in the next two months and here's the sticker price- do you want one or not?"

add a "here's how much we've decided to tack on by model because of scarcity".
