I have been doing the "hair thang" now for 22 years. For the past 6 or so I have not been real happy with where I have been working or WHO I have been working with. Mostly the Owners of the salon have been idiots. I have actually hated going to work. And I love what I do. I love my clients but I hated the atmosphere.
Last November, C and I again changed salons. I now work with the Owner, T ... the manicurist, L ... and C, a hairstylist that I have worked with for 12 years (we stick together). LOVE HER!
I am back into a happy family. We kid each other and help each other when we are busy. Today we are going to lunch. When you have to spend that much time with people it is great to really like them.
I really like these people. So lunch at Claim Jumpers here I come.
Makes all the difference in the world when you work with good people. I have been at the same place for 14 years, we are like a family with a couple of things in common: we all are here to help students, and we can't stand our fuzzy ferret of a boss...total bonding material.
Of course I don't work now, but when I did it was wonderful to work with great people. Its bad enough sometimes to have to go to work at all, worse when you have to put up with werid-os!
Enjoy your lunch!
