    Default Im getting my first real

    paycheck tomorrow. Its so odd to be given my pay in a check form. I havent been excited over $200 in oh, 7 years....

    AND I got my schedule... Im not so sure how well this will work. I have a feeling Im going to last about 3 months before moving on to renting so I can set my own schedule... Im very unhappy to be working full shifts every Sat and Sun. Not only that but my days off are seperate after requesting them to be together. Now I didnt complain because 3 (of the 5 of us) complained about their schedules and I dont want to seem all 'princessy'....

    But on a positive note : Im excited that we open this weekend - should be fun!

    AND my husband got a promotion and hes going to be switched to a facility only 30 minutes away in 30-90 days. Yay! Thats $800 a month less towards gas and more towards debt. Woohoo!

    Yes, I had a very rough and whiny last few months. Things are looking up and Im trying to think very positive about everything. Putting things into perspective and figuring out where I want to go with my life. Having this job for only 2 weeks has made my mood improve.

    I want to be happy - I dont like being sad and upset and bitchy and whiny all the time. I feel sorry for all you who had to read my past posts...

    And I'm sure you'll be able to 'upsize' to a better paying job in time.

    28.5 hours $234.38 woohoo!

    I treated myself to a book Ive been wanting - the rest will go to bills.

    I feel better making my own money - even if it isn't what it used to be it still feels good!

    So the next time someone says to me that $300 for 7-8 hours work (in an easy going environment) is "not worth it" ... I will remember your pay cheque.

    Read that people. I understand we put up with a lot more blah blah blah however the gist of it for me is that I earn more in a night working than I would in a week working at any other "job" i'm qualified to do.


    to you Audrey !

    ^^^ for real. Now, when I do go dance ya know I wont bitch about only making $100 or $200 dollars!

    Glad this thread got revived. Yesterday was the first day I felt like a real hairdresser. 4 haircuts and a color correction. I was busy all day and loved it. I was doubting myself for a minute but Im loving doing hair now.

    Yay! That sounds like a fun job! Go for it!

    And about my first post. I now have Sun, Mon and Thurs off. I also have one revolving day off. Im only going to be working 3 days/week. I need to stay busy and the less I work the more Ill make because were paid commission from productivity. So - yay
