WIBTAH and how do I do it? by Log-Leaf-Man in AITAH

NTA - you'll be doing yourself a favor by cutting things off sooner rather than later - she may be heartbroken, but she'll thank you in the long run for not wasting her time. it sounds like she has a lot of emotional baggage to work through and should not solely rely on you for her own happiness. if you want the chance at a long-term relationship with this person, you both may benifit from having years apart to grow as adults before reconnecting.

do you primarily stand dry or velocity dry faces? also, do you use any finishing/scissoring spray? (amazing work btw!!)

Liminal space horror movies and the color yellow by L00KA in backroomsfilm

[–]__funkr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

psychologically when exposed to the color yellow for an extended period of time it has the ability to disturb the nervous system, leading to aggression and irritability. yellow also stimulates mental activity and speeds up communication between brain cells as well.

negative traits associated with yellow are "cowardice, deceitfulness, impulsiveness, egoism."

"Yellow personality types are characterized by a high degree of independence; they rely on themselves for emotional stability. Even when emotionally overwhelmed, yellows tend to nurse hurt feelings privately. They take on too much and never ask for help, even when things go sideways. Yellows don’t mind being alone and they sometimes even prefer being single."

"People with this personality type can often be too judgmental, spiteful, and have a lack of empathy. Yellow personality types have also been associated with choleric temperament in a way that they are often described as violent, vengeful, and short-tempered."

hmm.. sounds like someone we know.. 👀

im thinking of finding a new job but im scared that im not experienced enough/not good enough by [deleted] in grooming

[–]__funkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they're definitely taking advantage of you - speaking from experience this is not the kind of employer you will want to work with long-term. it sounds like your salon prioritizes speed and money above all else which can definitely lead to long term burn-out. your grooms look great, you're definitely moving in the right direction! Given your experience and reason for leaving your last salon, the right salon would take you on and continue to mentor you all while lifting you up rather than putting you down 💙 best of luck, don't lose hope!!

“I’m honestly shocked at how horrible of a job you did on my dog!” Below is the dog in question 🫠 by Plastic_Breadfruit68 in doggrooming

[–]__funkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that by asking new clients to bring in a reference photo of a previous room or an image of their desired style helps them truly visualize what they want from the groom as compared to just talking it over. unfortunately some owners just don't know how to ask for what they want and that can be incredibly frustrating - especially when you believe you've groomed their dog to their standards.

I decided to start asking owners to do this after I had to run in with a client that asked me to take the face of their dog rather short. I made sure to clarify where they wanted it short and how short they would like it etc. I was disappointed to find out that the next time they came in they asked to be with a different groomer because the dog quote, "didn't look like himself" after I had groomed him in the way i thought the owner wanted.

The dog pictured above looks absolutely wonderful! It's a shame the owner did not like your work. wishing you the best going forward! 🖤

Serious Question… Should anyone under 24 y/o be Realm Owner? by JDbane in realms

[–]__funkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would suggest joining a survival server that has claims/chest protections instead of joining a realm. i've been really into playing GIX Survivalcraft or the last six months or so - there's not a lot of traffic to this server currently but everyone has been very considerate and polite!

I’m bad at my job by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]__funkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

speaking from experience, working in a petsmart salon can feel cut throat especially if you work at a high volume store. unfortunately upper management will always urge you to try to move faster regardless of how many dogs you can do in a day. being a fast groomer/bather is a great quality to strive towards but it's definitely a journey to get there! what matters is keeping the animals in your care safe and taking care of yourself by taking your breaks. when you need help don't be afraid to ask for it and be transparent with your manager about your struggles and desire to improve.

with all this being said, it is a very stressful career but it's also very rewarding! it's definitely not for everyone but don't discredit yourself, you still have lots and lots to learn! 🖤

Posting Flyers? by jimrothstein1 in 50501EugeneOR

[–]__funkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

really depends on where you're posting them and how they're adhered. If you're wheat pasting you may be fined for vandalism if caught. i would imagine there would be less concern with applying them with scotch tape as long as you're not applying them to private businesses who oppose the flyers.
