My hairdresser was working early this year, a normal day in a normal shopping plaza when suddenly 3 big guys came into the salon and asked if there was a room where a 'high-profile' client could get a hair cut. After some discussion, they agreed on a room in the back and said that they would return in a hour with 'the client.' Some time later they return with the rest of their security team and the Prime Minister of Canada. He wanted a trim. My hairdresser was happy to oblige. I think this might have something to do with why she is charging more now :-) You can make it big in the hair industry based on whose hair you've styled, from what I understand.
Another story...
Almost 10 years ago now, I was riding public transit to work and saw an advert for a software development course at the local technical college. On a whim, I thought I'd email them and see if they needed any instructors. That email got forwarded to the coordinator for the department who ended up being a teacher of mine from the past. He offered me an opportunity on the spot, and I've been teaching here ever since and loving it!
