A little update...

After much prayer and thought (not to mention frustration and stress), I have officially decided to step down from my position as Assistant Salon Leader! After the whole situation at Christmas, there were some more major changes right at the end of the year, and at that point, I decided to give it the month of January and see after that what I wanted to do. Well, it's February, and I have more than enough information to make my decision! I absolutely LOVE doing hair and I don't want to quit altogether and I finally realized that I was much happier just being a stylist! I'm only 22 years old, I have plenty of time to get "management experience" under my belt (and I've already got almost a year's experience). Ultimately, I'd love to have a little shop out of our house someday anyway, so that wouldn't even require me to be a manager, except to myself! Right now, I really want to just enjoy my career! Please keep me in your prayers the next week or so as Lisa comes back from her vacation and I break the news to her!!!

On a lighter note, Joan Cusack was in our salon again a few weeks ago! Once again, she brought in her little boy to get his haircut. It was so funny, I was doing this lady's hair and she was there with her friend who was getting her hair done in the chair next to mine and they were whispering back and forth to each other "that looks like Joan Cusack!", "it even sounds like her!", "well, they do live in Chicago, you know, it could be her"...my face was getting so red and I was getting so nervous! I mean, she's obviously not there to throw her fame around, she is there to be a mother and bring her little boy to get his hair cut! After she left, my boss ended up telling them that it was her, and they freaked out, it was hilarious!!! Who knows, maybe his Uncle John will bring him in sometime???
