Sunlight can be a horrible thing

I haven’t really written an actual “post” in a while.

Work is going pretty well. I really like my job, it’s relatively easy, and the other front desk girls are nice. I feel like the clients are all nice to me for the most part. There are 15 stylists and 4 front desk people - it’s super busy and awesome. I get all the free coffee and soda I want (dangerous!) and I get my hair done whenever I want too. It took me a while to learn everything; believe it or not the computer software we use to schedule the appointments is super complicated! The salon is departmentalized, meaning that certain people only do color, and others only do cuts. There are 1 or two that do both but it depends on the clients. Certain people do special updo styles, certain people do extensions, certain people do this and that and blah blah blah. It took me about a month to learn who does what and I still don’t know 100% yet.
I am a bit frustrated with work sometimes, however. They gave me and the other new girl a “mini makeover” of sorts so we would look more like we fit in there and not at a retail store in the mall. They are okay with tattoos showing but I was basically told to tone down my black eyeliner and make my hair look more polished (like, what do you mean i cant roll out of bed and come to work?). It’s DEFINITELY an adjustment for me. I’m used to living with all guys or living out of a suitcase and now I have to wear clothes with no wrinkles and shower *gulp* in the morning?! I’ve been trying so hard and it’s still just not good enough. I just can’t do my hair right. The reason I work at the front is because I CAN’T DO HAIR. I can’t do mine. I was so mad today because I feel like I can’t win. If my hair is okay then my makeup isn’t good, or if that’s fine then my hair isn’t good enough, or I feel uncomfortable in my clothes. AH!!! Other than that I think I do a great job with clients and I can book all the appointments really well, and I haven’t had anyone hang up or leave upset yet. I’m hoping getting better at being girly and looking better will come in time? Ahhh. We will see.

Bill and Cam are great, guys. I just thought everyone should know. They had a good New Years. Winter too. Speaking of New Years, no resolutions for me this year. I just wanna be a good girlfriend, a more patient person (maybe. haha) and a good mama to my kitty/puppy babies.

YAITW goes on tour next weekend. Boooo for me, yay for all of you.
