OK, ok... You deserve an update!

I have accepted a job at a "super" haircutting chain with a store about a mile from my house. Yay. The company offers a great training program and that was the primary reason I applied. After 7 days of training and cutting lots of doll heads and human heads, they let me cut hair! Monday was my first day and I didn't make anyone cry. (Although a woman came back kinda mad and said I didn't cut enough off. The manager said not to worry, it happens to them too.)

I'll be working at least 30 hours per week, usually in 6-hour shifts (9am-3pm or 3pm-9pm). Sundays they are open 12-5. It is weird getting tips (or not getting tips in some cases). But nice to walk out with some cash each day. The manager Trish is great. It is laid back in our salon and she is very supportive and an effective teacher. So after two days, I can say it's going well. If you need a haircut or color, let me know!
