feeling good as hell.

Oh I told her that, but she wasn’t having any of it. She kept saying she was a frequent flyer and that she was entitled to it as a result. 

My love, I couldn’t care if you’ve won an Oscar, if you haven’t bought the damn class you don’t get upgraded. Simple. 

Ironically, we weren’t even serving champagne as we were literally only flying to Charlotte.

It is simple, but some people get off on making everything more complicated than it needs to be.

Open Starter - Daniel

That was absolute hell. Complete and utter hell. I love my job but my god are the passengers awful…

Some old Karen decided she was entitled to free champagne and food throughout the whole flight even though she was flying Economy, not to mention she demanded an upgrade to Business. 

I need coffee and I need it fast.

Ah Karens, the worst of all entitled people. If she wanted Business she should’ve bought it in the first place, as far as I’m concerned.

The latest shipment just came in and I’m in love with the colors. All the pigment is so vibrant and fun, I can’t wait to see what people come up with from it.

dryurionice​:

Aw, thank you! That makes me very happy to hear. Especially as a younger vet it means a lot. I wouldn’t be in the position to make these decisions if I was not capable. I love Vuitton and it’s always a pleasure to see him!

You’re amazing at your job for being as young as you are. And I might be reaching, but I think Vuitton likes coming to see you. 

[ashmillxo]

dryurionice​:

Yeah, I feel that it comes from a place of concern with people. They want what is best to help their pets or their humans when they are not feeling well. But, I hope that my clients understand that I feel the same way they do and I want what’s best too. I use my knowledge and skills in the field to make the best decisions possible. 

I certainly trust you with Vuitton. I try to take him to any other vet and he ends up yappy there. He can actually settle down at your office. 

[ashmillxo]

dryurionice​:

Yeah, absolutely. I do my best to do that! Sometimes though frustrations that come up are out of our control in terms of maybe how much certain procedures or what have you cost, or solutions that maybe don’t match what the owner had in mind. I understand when pet owners try to search things on their own but it’s not always what is the reality. 

That doesn’t seem like a thing unique to veterinarians. I imagine all kinds of doctors get stuck with the person that thinks they know better than the professional.

[ashmillxo]

bashxkelly​:

Yeesh. Was she chastising you for something in particular, or just in general, for the sheer Karen of it? I’m pretty sure I’d tank spectacularly in any kind of customer service position, I get along with pieces of wood WAY better.

Little bit of both. She wasn’t so fond of a man being the one to cash her out - especially a man in a full face. Not a sight around here that often, I suppose. 

[ashmillxo]

dryurionice​:

Yeah, I understand that. I get some clients here and there that are angry at first, but I do my best to try to get them to feel better by the time they’re out the door.

In your line of work it’s probably best to keep everyone happy, humans and animals alike. It is a bit odd to get angry at your veterinarian, though. They’re just trying to help. 

[ashmillxo]

tythejoker​:

Damn, you must have the patience of a saint to deal with people like that. She sounds like an absolute handful… at least I know what to look out for if she ever comes into my joke shop. Total Karen. 

Are you the person who runs the beauty shop just down the road?

That would be me. The old owner left it to me.

[ashmillxo]

cartersvilledavekarofsky​:

Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Ash. Is that so? No, I don’t think we’ve met. Like I said, I grew up here but I moved away for college several years ago. I moved back just a couple months ago, to be nearer to my family. Cartersville is a pretty nice place though, isn’t it? Not much has changed, but that’s part of the charm if you ask me. If you don’t mind my asking, what type of shop do you run, specifically? I’ve heard about High Note, but I haven’t had the chance to check it out just yet. Maybe I’ll see you over there sometime. That it is, not many people have the ability to overlook that kind of thing these days. I’ll just never understand why people feel the need to be so rude. We’re all just trying to surivive. 

I’ve lived here for a few years now, but I’m an Atlanta native. I came this way to have someplace quieter and, funnily enough, to get away from my family. I like the town quite a bit from what I’ve seen of it. I run a makeup shop, and I do nails inside. Most of the shop though is the makeup. If you do see me be sure to say hello.

[ashmillxo]

camjones​:

Ash!! How are you doing? By the way, excellent choice! I hope you enjoy it and feel fully rejuvenated and recharged after.  

Aside from that woman, I’ve been doing quite well. I’ve got a fresh set of palettes coming in next week that I’m looking forward to. I might sneak one, honestly.

[ashmillxo]

cartersvillemeghayward​:

Oh, yeah, I can definitely understand that. Better to get her out of your hair now, than to have to continue to deal with someone like that. It’s tempting, though, I know it is. That’s great to hear at least. Are you looking forward to Halloween? It’s just around the corner, I can’t believe it. 

I’m always looking forward to Halloween. I already bought my candy for the children, though I haven’t quite yet found the perfect costume. 

[camjones]

Last night’s open mic made me realize how much I miss signing on a regular basis. I had so much fun being on stage again it makes me want to do it again and again and again. But enough about me, how are you’ll doing? Do you have anything fun planned this weekend or are you taking it easy and recharging your battery for next week? 

[ashmillxo]

Fun for me is a facial and a warm bath, so that’s on the menu for as soon as I get home.

adamaestjames​:

Rarely do I get entire songs stuck in my head but I do sometimes get random lines from songs stuck in my head and today is certainly the weirdest one in a while. Because there is absolutely no reason I should have, “ And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his inability to hold an erection on the high holy days” from La Vie Boheme stuck in my head on a loop. What part of the universe decided I needed to think about a gay man’s penis today?

A... gay man’s penis? I haven’t heard La Vie Boheme before, but now I’m considering it. Sounds like quite the number.

[ashmillxo]

dryurionice​:

I hope it improves the more you’re here. There’s lots of people who are kind. 

I’ve lived here for some time and while yes, there’s some nice people, we are still in rural Georgia after all. I feel like I get at least one angry customer a week.

[ashmillxo]

cartersvilledavekarofsky​:

What? That definitely sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. People are…Really shitty sometimes, but that isn’t something to make the rest of the world pay for. I’m Dave, by the way. Dave Karofsky. I grew up here, but I just moved back into town. Hopefully I don’t come across anyone like that in the near-future. I commend you for having the ability to keep it together.

Name’s Ash, I’ve lived here for a few years now but I don’t think I’ve seen your face before. Then again I’m usually cooped up in the shop or at High Note. Thank you, it’s a talent of mine to not snap at these people.

[ashmillxo]

cartersvillemeghayward​:

Say what now? Ugh, that’s awful. I’m so sorry, people are so rude these days. Of course, in a customer service position, what is one to do? I hope you at least made one of her new set a little crooked, though. It would serve her right. Other than that, are you having a decent day? 

I’d love to but I’d rather not have the woman back in my building to complain. Or deal with her longer in here. Aside from her I’ve been fine, mostly keeping the shop stocked up for now.
