Just Another Day At Work...

So there I was… minding my own business, trying to get through just another day at the Urban Retreat when a very distraught woman came up to the desk. Her skin looked grey, there was terror in her eyes and she was on the verge of tears.

"I need to speak to someone in charge… now… it is very urgent… and an emergency"

I told this poor woman that I am a manager and could help her with anything she needed, to which point she asked to go to another room so we could speak in private. And so… I obliged.

What I am about to write is no exaggeration at all… this is the god's honest truth. And please bear in mind that on the same day I had helped at a Chihuahua wedding and spent two hours with David Hasslehoff… this is my job people.

The woman… let's call her Sarah… looked me in the eyes and said:

"I came in yesterday for a Hollywood wax… you know the one where they take everything off… and I think something else has gone with it. You know… something else… something else that is down there that should never be removed… that only girls have… that can make them very happy… you know what I am talking about?"

I nodded… I was completely speechless.

"My boyfriend could find it yesterday but then not last night and then I tried to find it and I couldn't either and I really think it has been taken off by one of your therapists."

I could not believe what I was hearing. What can you say to this? What do you say to this? I took a deep breath and looked at her again.

"Sarah… do you not think that you would have… felt it… if it had been… waxed off. I will give you this hand mirror… I'm going to leave you alone… you can take your time and make sure that… it… really isn't there."

She took the mirror.

"If I can't find it… I want you to help me look for it. I trust you now."

I gave her a reassuring smile as I left her alone… and PRAYED TO GOD SHE FOUND IT.

20 mins later… a very red faced Sarah came out of the room.

"I found it. Thank you. Sorry"

And with that she left.

A doggie wedding, a David Hasslehoff and a Sarah. Just another day at the Urban Retreat.
