Change is Gonna Come

Well... I GOT A JOB! I will be an Event Coordinator with a company that is outsourced by Meijer (a store similar to Target or Wal-Mart). I'll be coordinating the sample programs and managing all of the "samplers." Originally the company was going to hire 11 Coordinators, 1 for each store in the area (this is a new program being rolled out), but they've decided to hire only 4! So, from what it sounds like I'll be in charge of 2 or 3 stores, which I am very excited about. When I got the call yesterday it sounded like they were still trying to work out all the details, but I'm going to fill out my new-hire paperwork tomorrow so hopefully I'll find out more about where I'll be working. I'm really hoping that I get the Elgin, Bloomingdale and Rolling Meadows stores, so keep your fingers crossed!
And next week I'm going on my first business trip! It's just for a couple days to train in a Meijer store that has the program already. I think I'll get to hire my own staff as well! It's just a part time gig, like 32 hours a week, but I'm thinking they might increase our hours because we'll be managing multiple locations.
Also, yesterday I went and got my hair done, finally. My hair is finally all blonde again and I got a cute and funky new haircut. I was going to this place up in Roselle for about a year, called Rockstar Salon, which was great, but expensive. As you all know, my funds are tight right now and a new salon called Colorific just opened by my house and after checking out their website I saw that they were significantly cheaper than Rockstar, so I decided to give them a shot. I really liked how my hair turned out! The girl I had really listened to what I wanted, which I can't say for every cosmetologist I've worked with. Here's a picture of my new do!
