I got the complement of my life (or week) the other day while I was standing in the hallway as the kids went to their first period classes, keep in mind that it is 7:30 in the morning as they walk to their classes. A teacher walks past me and says, "You really look like you wish it was tomorrow (Friday)."
Translated: "You look like crap."
How sweet.
I mean, I know I make it a point to tell people when they look terrible and rotten. So, I'm glad the favor is returned.
... What am I supposed to look like at 7:30 in the morning in the middle of the week?! Bright eyed and cheery faced?
I think not. Maybe some people, but not me.
Anyhow. That's my little story. Have you ever gotten a backhanded compliment like that before? And when I say backhanded compliment I really don't mean compliment. Cause no matter how you say something like that ...
"You look terrible! Are you feeling sick?"
"No, actually, I feel really great. But thanks for telling me you think I look like doggy poopy."
... it isn't nice or sweet or kind or appreciated.
And that's really all I have to say about that :D

Gosh, I hate those! Happens all the time... especially when you work at a salon, I find. "Oh, cute- I see you're going for that messy bed-head look today." Ummm... no, I'm not. Love it.
