Ears lowered in What's Happening

When I was scheduling my hair cut appointment the girl asked me what time I wanted to come in. I asked her what times were available and she said “9:00am.” I suspected there was probably moret times available, but she was just too lazy to read the rest of them.

I could have said “Are there any other times available?”

I didn’t though because I liked the thought of getting my haircut out of the way early. When I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm this morning, I slightly regretted this decision.

It seems like the girl who cuts my hair is always experiencing some major life problems. Every time I go there she tells me about a new problem that is more elaborate and more serious than the last one. It’s such a downer.

Whenever someone has a problem in life that they want to talk about I usually don’t mind listening. If I start to notice a trend that all their problems are from them making poor life-decisions over and over again then I tend to lose interest. I don’t know how to help these people.

During my haircut I was really engaged with the conversation at the beginning, but towards the end I couldn’t even force myself to listen.

I don’t have anything planned this weekend. It’s super nice outside today. When it’s nice outside you would ideally spend time outside enjoying it, but when it’s the middle of the winter and it’s nice outside it doesn’t feel right.
