My Beautician Just Reminded Me How to Do Life and Work Right
The Waxing Chronicles — part II
It must be the lying down, half naked.
Awkwardly close to someone you have no relationship with.
My waxing appointment has become my most productive idea generation time of the month. I don’t mean to spend that hour in any other way than chatting with the beautician, but good insights always start flowing.

No Matter What I Do I Want to Focus On This
Have you ever worked a job that looked like a dream on paper, but felt like a nightmare when your colleagues entered the picture?
Or got the most professional service at a restaurant, but couldn’t enjoy the experience because the staff was too rigid or arrogant?
My worst work experience had nothing to do with the job itself. It had to do with my manager. She made me feel like a number, not a human being. This prevented me from enjoying working with her, or from wanting to go to work in the morning.
She didn’t care about the relationship.
