Venting

It's a beautiful day for some negativity.

1. If you're going to broil the hell out of a medium-sized river's worth of salmon, please think about your upstairs neighbors and set up appropriate ventilation. I went to sleep last night dreaming that I had been condemned to work in the kitchen of one of these places.
2. If you're going to piss off the love of my life by jacking up the price on her pre-wedding hairdo by about 40% without telling her first, don't do what the owner of this shop did, which was to call up later that day to try to convince her that this is the "way things are done in the industry," which implied, somehow, that if she'd got her hair cut at overpriced salons more frequently, she'd be OK with capricious revisions of quoted rates.
3. If you are opening a restaurant -- not a club, but a restaurant -- think twice about employing your DJ pals to spin records at dance-party volume while your patrons enjoy your fashionably loose interpretation of pan-Asian cuisine:
   "How's the Mussulman Curry?"
   "WHAT?"
   "How's the Mussulman Curry?"
   "YOU"RE IN A MUSCLEBOUND HURRY?"
   "NO, I...OH FORGET IT...."
