New hair and a new job, it's my week!

     I filled out an application for a part time job on Saturday or Sunday and on Monday I had gotten a call back. I went in on Monday and had an impromtu interview. On Tuesday I got offered the position. I am amazed at how quickly things come toogether when it's right. They are filling my background check and when that comes back I will start training. I am going to be working at the customer service desk at the BX. It is litterally a 5 minute walk from my house, and I am so excited to be working part time again. I Haven't worked for a company in two and ahalf years and I hope I pick it up quickly and things go well, but I am very glad to get out of the house and bring in a little extra cash. I will be getting about 20 hours a week during the holidays and between 3-19 once the holidays are over but I will be eligible for regular part time if a position opens up, and to be honest it will be nice to start out slow.

     I have been fortunate enough that I haven't had to work and have a husband that is completely supportive of whatever I want to do. That being said, I haven't been able to find a family to babysit for (which is what I really love) and I am starting to go stir-crazy now that the house is basically set up how I want it. This will be a nice way to pay down on the very little we owe here and there, and give us some extra spending money for the upcoming Comic con we are going to.


     I got a hair cut! I got quite a few inches taken off all around and I changed the color. Let me know what you think? This is the first time I have ever had red/auburn hair. I think it works but Let me know.

Thanks for ruining it lady!

I don't get my hair cut often, in fact right now I am trying to grow it out, so it's been a few months since I had it cut.  While living in North Carolina I had my cousin cut and style it every 6 weeks.  I am one of those people that love getting her hair shampooed, cut and styled.  It's my thing, I love the way it feels, and it relaxes me.  Today I decided to get my hair done at the base salon. because it's cheaper and closer.

The woman who cut my hair was awful!  First she started out by talking over me to another hair stylist who was on break.  Then when I politely asked about her cats (whom she had been talking about) she told me all about the troubles they have been giving her.  Then I told her about how we had a male cat and how he sometimes plays with the neighbors kitten (which he acts afraid of)  She told me that male cats needed to be kept calm because strees would give them crystals in their urine, and then asked me about what type of food we feed him (natural choice organic cat food: in case you were wondering) she says "Male cats need to eat only wet food, it prevents them from getting those crystals in their urine" and proceeds to tell me repeatedly that my cat could die unless we start feeding him wet food. I told her that I was feeding him what the vet recommended and she proceeded to complain about vets in general.

After the shampoo and lecture were over I tried to get her to talk about how long she had lived here, and she then went on and on about how taking care of her animals has prevented her from building a house...blah blah blah. 

So she has cut my hair and asks me "Do you want me to blow dry it?  I think you should just do it at home"...I'm PAYING you to style my hair, just do your job lady.  I said "well I have errands to run and it will become a mess before I get home could you please do it?  She uses a round pick to brush through it while blowdrying it, pulling my hair like crazy.  After a few minutes I asked if she had a brush she could use, and she replied "This is the only thing I use because it doesn't pull the hair"...Um Excuse me lady but what would you call what it is doing right now?  PULLING MY FREAKING HAIR!  That's what.  By this time I just wanted to get out of there.  So she finished blowwdrying it and told me I should start using some oil to help with the frizzies (I have super thick textured hair) and told me that my "super fine" hair needed something with a boost....give me a break.  A chimp could do a better job cutting hair.

So when I went to pay she ran my card and didn't even leave a spot for a tip. When I asked if I could leave a tip, she acted like she just knew I wasn't going to leave one and so she didn't even ask me.  I left her 3 dollars in cash which I had in my purse, but I will be going back to complain when she isn't there one day.
