There is this parenting forum I go to. I generally just stick around the "What do you think" section now since I'm now not such a freaked out new mum.
My problem is this...
Not just once, but several times this week there have been posts about work place bullying.
I do understand that this can be traumatic and if the boss is bullying a worker that it can be a very difficult situation to be in. But this last post I read was ridiculous!
The "bully" was your ordinary retail assistant, and the bullied one was a freakin manager!
The bullying was that this employee was swearing at the manager on numerous occasions.
This person was asking if the bullied party should go to a Dr and try to get stress leave while the issue is sorted out.
I am just flabbergasted. Why is this person even in management if they cant deal with an employee swearing at them?!?!?!?!
Just by the sounds of the post this person was just to gutless to pull their employee up on it so they took it to senior management.
Isn't that just like a teacher going to the principle when one of their students acts up?
All the other posts are pretty much as frustrating as the last, "Oh this person doesn't like me what do I do? Is it harassment when someone gives me an evil look as I walk past?"
Fucking twits, that's all I can say.
Oh and don't even get me started on how many people on this forums have started to use the word "incredulous" lately. Must make them soooo smart if they can substitute the word incredible in every post they make.
When did we stop standing up for ourselves?
The "No poo" (shampoo that is) phenomenon
Whats your first thought when you think of someone who doesn't shampoo their hair?
Tree hugging hippy scum? Or just plain EEEEEEEEWWWWWW?
Well I have been seeing this topic pop up quite a bit around the Internet of late. Or maybe i'm just stumbling into weird places that everyone else has the good sense to avoid.
The idea is that you don't shampoo your hair and by 6-8 weeks your hair will have restored its natural balance and you will have glorious natural chemical free hair. Apparently shampooing strips your hair of its natural oils therefore causing your hair to go a bit hyper in making more. Sounds plausible enough to me.
Me being the chemical-phobe that I am quite likes the idea of not using chemicals. I figure I use very few chemicals around the house so why the hell am I using numerous products in our bathroom that have ingredients with every letter of the alphabet in them on my own skin?
I started by buying some natural soaps which I am quite fond of, including a shampoo bar. But then I got my hair done. Top is dark brown and the under half of my hair was made bright red.
Well the red was washing out horribly every time I washed it so last week I decided to stop just to avoid anymore colour run.
I figure since I'm a stay at home mum I can get away with trying this little experiment out. I mean who am I really going to offend with my greasy as chips locks other than Lil Mr Mr & Mr M?
So this is week one down. The idea is to "water only wash" my hair for as long as I can stand it, BUT if the need arises ONLY use natural/non toxic ingredients to wash my hair with.
And yes my hair is skanky right now, its is currently constantly tied up. BUT not one person has commented so either they are being overly polite or they haven't noticed yet... we will soon see.
My poodle says "baaaahhhhhh"
