Going Back to Work!!!

Well, I decided I can't stay home anymore so on a whim I went to one of the local beauty salons and asked for a job. Funny story, I went in and asked if they needed help and the owner wasn't there, so a women who works there handed me a 2"x2" piece of paper to write down a little information about me, how long I have my license and my experience, so I wrote:

Charlotte Hagelin
my phone number
licensed in 1986 for Cosmetology/ Hairstyling
licensed in 1990 for Cosmetology Teaching
Former owner of Hollywood Looks Hair and Nail Salon
formerly on Hollywood Ave in Fairfield
last job at Hair Stop in West Caldwell
stopped working in 2002 for personal reasons.

The owner called me back the next morning and said "I got your note, when do you want to start"? and it was that easy. She also commented that I had quite a resume and I was more then qualified for the job, but I hadn't even had the chance to present her my resume or even meet her face to face, I told the owner that I'd stop by in the afternoon to meet her and talk.

So I am going back to work and I start on Friday, May 18. I spent that afternoon cleaning and scrubbing my curling irons and brushes and I have my little bag packed with all my equipment and I'm ready to go back into the working world. Well, not entirely, I'm going to work part-time only 2 days a week and an occasional Saturday. I still need some time to deal with things as well as make up time with Christina, I won't consider full time until the fall so I can spend the summer with Christina in the pool. I'm also thinking about school and maybe even hoping to start in January....

So that's that, I'm pretty excited and Roy and Christina are happy for me. The shop is a block away from the cemetery where Jack is so I can stop and see him on my way to work.

Wish me luck!!!
