Let’s get physical?

This title is not going to make any sense at all if you read this post. Let me explain. I got this email the other day from Booksy.

I looked it up and understand that they are a site that enables small businesses to create bookings with clients, great idea I am sure there is a lot of need for this type of thing. And then I got the ‘booking’ mail.

And I’ll be honest, I half read it (as I do most things). I replied and said that this was not the right person. And then I drifted a bit. I thought this was a personal trainer, and so Let’s get physical was imagined, I had stuff about lunges/burpes/squats all entertaining stuff.

And then I got this mail.

So, here I am. And I am really confused. Totally derailed. My whole shtick as it is, is emails to Sarahs, and how people get their emails wrong. This is a Joseph and a Liam. Not even close. Even their surnames are not close. Even more confusingly, it seems that the person, Joseph who signed themselves up, who booked – what turns out to be an O.A.P haircut with Liam, is the person who input their details incorrectly.

They signed up, booked an appointment, and got it all wrong. I am wondering about the other guy too, did he see the email details? Did anyone show up for the appointment?

Maybe a Sarah signed up for her elderly parent/friend/neighbour and miss typed her own address and confusion has abounded today, and no hair has been cut. It is at the smaller scale of all the things that haven’t happened this year. Ultimately feeding into the huge impact that not being able to get a hair cut (or other beauty related treatments) has had on our morale and on the economy. £28 billion. That is a lot of money to disappear from peoples pockets. That is a lot of wild untamed hair.

It is reminding me that I need to get my own hair cut. Last cut in March, I missed the gap in the last lockdowns due to procrastinating (surprise that!), and I still haven’t gone. No idea what to do with it; I look like a lion at the moment when it is down, all wild and mane like.

Think it is time I get it cut, contribute to the economy, add a bit of order to my domain.
