The Round Brush From Hell!

Are you in serious need of a cardio workout but are just to lazy to go to the gym?
Do you wish you could be motivated to raise that heart-rate above your near Zombie-like pace?

Oh boy-oh boy, do I have the answer for YOU!

Simply purchase a round hair brush.....like this one...

(uhm....i have to go get it out of the garbagio....will upload a pic later)


And then proceed to use the brush like you think you should. It's round, so go ahead and twirl that sucker round and round till you get a nice sheath of your lovely hair wrapped in there and voila' you will simply unwind it and you will have an amazing wave right?

Oh God! no. The brush is stuck, upon rolling it back out to release the hair now feels like I have just been subject to a torture routine as one-hair-at-a-time is being ripped right out of my scalp. Immediately, I can feel my hands get clammy and moistness comes to my upper lip. I've already started to sweat!  So there I sit for almost an hour trying frantically pulling small pieces through and cringing as they are still wound up inside the evilness that this brush is, and then in between inaudible small weeping sounds, and hoping beyond all this natural,  I discover that those scissors in my side drawer are now looking like the only way that I will be able to get out of this predicament. I'm desperate now, "cut me Doc, cut me" and I feel like I will save my own life if I can just get through this delicate procedure. Had I known the next little secret, it would have saved a few things like; my hair.

Do you think I could think straight enough to get to the laptop and plug in H.E.L.P. for Hair? No.
Do you think I could have grabbed my cell and logged onto google that way?. No.
Because when you're half-way in between getting ready for an event, and you decide to put yourself into pain this way, you panic.

Here's what I did find AFTER cutting the chunk of hair away and then using half a can of hairspray to hide my new "do".  All you need is a knitting needle. That's it. That's all it takes to pull the hairs back through, remember if you never had your hair pulled through a cap for streaking back in the day (sorry, but I don't even know if they still do that), that same type of item would work too.

Now, don't I wish that I knew that when it was happening to me and secondly, don't I wish I had either one of those things in my house at the time, you bet.

I guess I should take up knitting. At least it's safer than styling my own hair.

Open Office Space and the Torment of Hyper Sound Sensitivy

Do you suffer from over sensitive hearing? What most people find not even noticeable, I find unbearable. And the word "suffer" is an under-statement.  I have to psych myself up to go into my workplace. Most recently, we moved to a place that of course is cubicles, and very very open concept. The level of noise is surmountable, with more than 80 people in it and we spent the majority talking on the phone.  Not only can I hear everything my immediate 8 coworkers are staying, I can hear people five rows back, clear as day. And what's worse?  I am sitting across from one person who's keyboard makes the loudest clicking noise all day long, but another one who sits diagonal from me, who does data entry, I listen to clicking and tapping for 8 hours a day.

I feel like I'm going to lose it one of these days.

I wear ear phones the entire time and that doesn't even stop the noise, I tried to play white or pink noise but was told by one of my coworkers that it bothers her and I have to turn it off, even at the lowest setting. I discussed it with immediate supervisor, trying to get another seat, but they said I have to get used to it, all offices have noise. I've worked in offices for over 20 years, this one takes the cake.

I wished that someone would understand that I'm not crazy, no I don't have a mental illness and it's actually causing me such distress that I worry the night before in how can I cope with it or bear it for another day.  I also have Tinnitus and I have tried everything. I hear high-pitched screeching noise all day long to go along with the ticking and the conversations.

I'm posting this in hopes that someone out there can help me. I'm desperate!  No amount of hearing tests will detect this, so how do I prove to my employers that it is real?

I've always been sensitive to noise, but this is overtaking my work life and I hate it.

The cubicle's are 4 feet in height with a 1 foot glass window all the way around 3 of the walls. Like I said, I need help!!!
