Current annoyances

So yesterday was my little brother's 18th birthday. It's strange to think that he can do all the same things as before butI don't have to babysit him and be on the lookout for cops for him.

I have realized my intolerance for stupidity and people taking advantage of one another.

Recently I've started working at a salon. Not your typical salon but a high end salon. The type that charges you $75 for a 15 minute consultation that is required for you to even get a haircut. Keep in mind that the haircut is a completely sepparate appt. that you have to pay for on the next go round.

I'm cheap. There's no dancing around it. I've never paid more than $50 for my hair no matter what I want done with it because my hair grows so fast that I would waste more money on my hair than food. Not to mention the fact that i get bored so fast that it would be wasted.

That's beside the point. I'm paid $9 an hour to work my ass off while the high maintenance, bitchy stylists jack around and get $500 dollar tips for doing twenty min of work. Meaning I ckean bathrooms, get food and drinks, sweep, dust, clean windows, power wash the building (also, I should mention that I'm supposed to be the receptionist so I'm dressed up in the required brand name clothes that I can't afford on my salary)

good excuses

It's been a while since I've blogged or even visited to be honest. I'm not caught up on everyone's writing as well as I used to be but I'll have to go back amd start reading. Truth is that I've found someone new and he's quite amazing.

I've told you all about the douche bags that I seem to attract and subsequently put up with in spite of knowing that I'm worth way more than that. This time seems different, actually, it is different. He is a great guy who is funny and has a sense of humor to match mine.

I promise to try to be better about blogging now and I can actually share some stories from happier places than I was in the beginning of all this. :-)

I'm off to catch up on all the other amazing blogs that I've neglected thus far but I'll be back soon.
