Today I present to you a two-part post – one part whine, one part happiness. Let’s take it from the top!
You see, the first part of my Wednesday was awful. I won’t get into details as it’s work related, but I will say that in my line of work, I encounter people every day who are less than happy with something. It’s part of the job and it’s really no problem, because most of the time both parts are able to keep it at a reasonable and polite level. I really don’t mind angry people. What I do mind is people who are unreasonable and rude, and yesterday I got them by the bucket load. I was yelled at and called names, one costumer after the next. A few once in a while I can brush off, no problem, but when you get a good handful in a day, it wears you down quite a bit. By the time I got home, I was ready to slip into my sweats and take a nap.
I look like poo today, so you get a photo of my sister and the dog instead ;)
BUT! I noticed that I had received an invitation to the re-opening of a Lindex store nearby, and decided to grab Maren and check it out. There were promises of pretty clothes to look at and a musician to listen to, so I figured, why not? When I got there, it turned out to be a much fancier event than expected – first of all, there was a guest list. And it turned out, I was not on it. It turned out to not be much of a problem, someone was asked and I was let in. I later remembered that I received the invitation through my blog’s email address, and that my last name can’t be found anywhere my blog. I can’t blame them for not putting down “Maja the Piranha” on the list ;)
Anyway, the event was nice – there were nice clothes and music by Magnet, little canapés to nibble on and free champagne. I felt a little confused as to why I was invited, but hey, no complaints here. Big thanks to Mammadamen who invited me! Oh and when we left, we each got a little goodie bag containing sunglasses, a scarf, moisturizer, makeup remover and some product samples. Maren and I went to look at bikinis afterward – I highly recommend doing this after three glasses of champagne, by the way, it makes the who thing a lot more pleasant!
Today I feel much better, thank goodness. Work has been back to it’s usual level of pleasantness, and I’m on my way to check out Maren’s wedding dress! I wish I could promise you photos of it, but I’m not allowed to post any photos until after the wedding day in October ;)
