The PERM Mix-Up

A Tale of Frosted Tips and Role Confusion

It started with a directive. A quick message from Hollow Administration:

“Please send the Communications Implementation team to tackle Discord PERMS.”
And that’s all it said.

Now, most would interpret PERMS to mean Permission Role Management
Systems—you know, the technical structure that keeps channels private, roles
assigned, and chaos to a minimum.

But not Betty. Not the stylists at Hollow Color & Cut.
They saw “PERMS” and did what any good salon would do: preheated the hood
dryers and stocked up on mousse.

So when the Communications Implementation team strolled in—armed with laptops,
confused expressions, and absolutely no clue—they were promptly seated and caped.
“Spiral or wave?” Betty asked.

“Uhh… Administrator,” one of them replied, thinking this was some Discord role config
they hadn’t encountered yet.

The rest is history. Or possibly security footage.

Three hours later, the team emerged with questionable confidence and fabulous
highlights. A few squirrels wandered in mid-session, and naturally, no one questioned
it. Betty’s never one to turn down walk-ins.

Now, thanks to DEI (Diversity, Esthetics, and Interspecies Relations), we have an
inclusive celebration of beauty standards—complete with permed, frosted squirrels
and an official “No Acronyms Without Context” policy.

As for the Comm Impl. team?

They’ve updated their SOP to include:
“Verify abbreviation intent before implementation. Especially when hair product is
involved.”
