A reminder to my self and all of you: you can, and should make customer complaints on behalf of staff.

Like last week, I had to mail a package and my local USPS was absolutely SWEALTERING. And the staff only had a few fans, some of which they were using faced towards customers, to try and keep us cool.

While doing my transaction, I was chatting with the worker about how crazy this was and how I hoped she had her own fan too, because I could only see the customer-benefit ones. She said yes, but I also asked if there was anyone I could complain to on her behalf and she immediately said yes again and to please do it! She wrote a more direct customer service number on my receipt which I was able to call Friday.

To be clear, I was kind and polite; I stressed how good the workers at this office were and how efficient always: "It's my local post office," but also how unbearable the heat was and how I couldn't imagine MY poor local staff having to suffer in that heat all day. I don't know yet if it will have an immediate effect for the workers, I hope it will though.

It's a move I haven't pulled much recently, but it was a good reminder for me that I can. I can put on my best assertive-Karen-for-good voice and bitch at companies and corporations to take care of their staff because why would I keep going to them if they don't? I know Post office is a little different, but all the more reason for me to take a vested interest as I pay for them with my taxes! Use my money to get those hard-working folks some goddamn aircon!

Hair Day

most carousel companies had their own individual style when it came to their horses manes but some shared common labels

today we’ll be talking about the different kinds of manes used on carousel horses

Windswept

also known as wind blown manes, carousel horse carvings were all about showing a horse in motion! this was the perfect mane to do the job

Peekaboo Mane

just as it sounds, this mane has a gap that you can look through!

peekaboo manes were an incredible flex in the carousel world, it proved that a company could carve thin pieces of wood without the risk of it snapping

Trojan Mane

also known as roached or chopped manes, this style of hair was given its name for its trojan-helmet resemblance

allan hershell is my personal favorite when it comes to trojan manes. sometimes they blend the trojan mane & peekaboo mane as seen in the first photo below

Side Swept

these manes bring a softer/elegant side in contrast to their energetic counterparts

it also brought great emphasis to the romance side, the side of a carousel horse that always faces the crowd

Flying Mane

similar to the windswept mane but with more volume and exaggeration

sometimes carvers such as parker would combine the peekaboo mane with the flying mane as shown below to the right

Top Knot

this mane is styled as if the bangs are floating or curled into a knot on top of the horses head, giving an energetic appearance

introduced in the 1920s, this style was used by the dentzel/muller company the most

remember that many carousel companies differ from eachother! some may share terms while others do not, thank you for reading!
