Day 4 of LTU 5. Gotta take 2 days off.
Okay, again there are a few things to note.
1. LM related issue.
Okay I went to get a haircut today. I made a reservation a few nights ago via online. I went to the salon, and found that my reservation was not received.... Apparently, they ditched online system, and left it still functional...
Well, they did it since last November, and the last time I got haircut was in January, and in that time, I made a phone call to confirm as I didn't receive a text confirmation. This time, I didn't as I thought I only get called if there is a problem with reservation. Big mistake.
So, the problem was that the guy who's supposed to give me a haircut wouldn't come in until noon (I was supposed to get a haircut at 11:00AM, and I arrived there 10:45 AM), and even then he had other appointments. Other hair designers were all fully booked too. Shit.
For some reason, one hair designer just had an opening, (I don't know if someone just canceled, or she just ended another client's service early.) and that I was able to start hair cut pretty much the same time, as I wanted to start.
Service was good, but it wasn't necessarily better than normal. Haircut was longer I can tell, but I know that designers usually take longer time to give me a haircut. (I don't know it's always been that way regardless of where I get haircut.)
Now, where does LM fit in in this situation? Okay, good luck in getting the situation resolved in a good manner. Unfortunate/bad luck to be in the situation in the first place. Therefore, I would reserve my verdict on LM part. (Well, when I booked this, I was on LTU 5.)
2. Headache
I had the same headache as yesterday in the morning, and it only last in the morning, and pretty much only till when I just woke up.
3. Assertiveness?
Okay at the salon, I was like making a few demands, like do you have any other designers available. If not, and if I need to make compromises in my time, I will just cancel it. (As I had other plans) I was also against calling in the guy to come in early, as it really isn't his issue. Besides, I don't know how viable that would have been. (I don't know how far away the guy lives from the place.) And the guy also has a night shift, and if he has to come in early, to give me a haircut? Terrible idea. Don't want to let a guy to design my looks who's annoyed/irritated by me. (He needs to come in early because of my reservation, although I didn't fuck up, it still can feel that way.)
The owner was insisting on calling the guy to come in early, and I was like, don't do that. I don't want to make that guy do it.
Okay, this may look like Beta way, but it felt like I was handling it in a very alpha way, like I'm owning the situation.
Also I got a call from my mom. (She dropped me off as bus schedule is terrible on the weekend.) I was telling her the situation, and she was like well then wait and get a haircut. Since I had no intention of spending much time there, or to modify my plans, I was like no, I'm not gonna do that. I'll see what happens. She told me again to wait and get it done today, and I told her "do not tell me what to do." I will decide what I will do. I will see how the situation unfolds.
The funny thing about the conversation with my mom was that it isn't something abnormal. I did that in the past, and I do that on occasion. Yet, the feeling of how I was telling was different. Difficult to describe. It wasn't something entirely irritation, or annoyance either. Not sure what that feeling is entirely.
I don't know, but it feels that a side-effect (not sure a good or bad) is becoming alpha, which sorta ties to my question about distinction between AM and LTU.
Not sure if becoming alpha (assuming that is what I'm experiencing currently) is good or bad in this case. (Being alpha can lead to terrible consequences at my military conscription work place.) We'll see.
