where there is shadow, there is also light


Well, GOOD NEWS (aka: the light) - I got hired at complexions salon.spa.boutique on Mass Ave and start working friday October 8 as an assistant every Friday and Saturday and a stylist every Monday. I'm very excited about this and have been telling everyone via Facebook to call and book appointments -- here's hoping they do it *crossing fingers, wishing on stars, thinking happy thoughts*

It feels REALLY good to be part of a salon that is the exact opposite of Hair Quest in Carmel. I've gone from Hell to Heaven, essentially.

Now, BAD NEWS (aka: the shadow) - Today I called gold's Gym to find out what my schedule is and I'm not on it. Now, when I got hired at Complexions I did turn in a 2 weeks notice to which Deanna (the operations manager) asked if I wouldn't be able to work 2 or 3 days still; I agreed I could and would actually prefer it while I start at the salon since it is comission-based and I need to build up a clientele in order to make money. So I told her every Tues and Thurs and every other Sunday (that would mean every other week I'd have only Wednesdays off and that would mean I'd only really see and spend time with Josh every other Sunday). Well, when I found out I wasn't on the schedule I asked to speak to Janelle, the customer service manager and point blank asked her "Am I fired, or let go?"
Janelle: (hesitantly) "Well ... technically, yes, you're let go. Katie from sales wanted more hours so we gave her yours. Sorry."
Like I told her, just because I got hired at the salon does not mean I'm making money since it's commission-based. I'm incredibly disappointed and I feel like a jackass for defending Deanna whenever people called her a bitch; well, she is a bitch. I cannot understand why someone would ask me to work 2 or 3 days and then when I agree, deny me the hours. So, alright, if that's how she wants to do it.

I filed for unemployment tonight and hopefully I get it because then I will not have to worry nearly as much and can help out around the house way more (financially) as well as catch up and pay off my medical bills and catch up my phone bill.

I am going to keep my head up, though, because this guy right here is worth seeing a happy mama!
Did I mention it's the BEST. MONTH. OF THE YEAR.!!!???? Well, it is! And it's James' first Halloween and I am all kinds of excited!!!!!!!
