Mondays- Backups and blah factors

Hey guys! 

Last time I left you I mentioned that I was doing a shoot on Nov. 11th (yesterday) with stylist Jonnie D. at iStudios in Maitland - which is an awesome place btw. If you've never been, I highly recommend going to get your hair did. I know a great barber there- contact me if you'd like to know more. Anyway...Jonnie couldn't make it apparently which really upped my Monday blah factor, so instead I hung out with my barber friend for a bit and opted for chinese food and a little wine instead of sulking. Hooray! 

Now, rewinding a bit to the first part of my day before I knew the shoot would be cancelled...

The previous night I decided to work from 12a-4a to get a few extra hours in. Besides that I had already worked a full day before the night shift and I had to work at 8a the next morning, so I was running off of like 4 hours of sleep. I woke up, worked some and then remembered that I had to charge my battery; which I actually should have done the day before, but I like to procrastinate so...there you go. I went to charge my battery and it wouldn't charge. No problem, right? I have a back up charger. Put my battery on the back up and plugged it in and nothing happened. I started to panic a little, but I mean there's no way that both of my chargers would crap out on the same say, right? So I tried a different plug, then I tried my other charger with a different plug, then I tried my other charger with a different cord and plug, then I panicked even more because the little light on the charger wouldn't turn on. It was like my whole world became that dark space where the light should be on my charger! I'm lying, that's too dramatic, but I was freaking out slightly. Who has TWO chargers that stop working on the same day?? So, I laughed and went to Radio Shack. I know...who goes to Radio Shack? It's less than a mile from my house so I decided to check it out. They had a universal charger for $40. Nope. On to the next store. I got to Target and the guy showed me one for $30 that included a car charger which I needed anyway so I just decided to get it. This made me sad because I could have purchase one on eBay for way less, but I didn't want to cancel and be unprofessional so I just bought it and went on my way. 

Even though the shoot didn't happen and I was slightly irritated due to the lack of consideration, I still had a good day. So the lesson learned here is always have more than one battery (duh) and always have a backup for your backups. :) 

Enjoy the rest of your day people! I'll be back later this week to share more about my adventures in Tampa that will take place tomorrow with Jasmine at the Lead and Succeed seminar.
