:wah: Guppy.

Have you seen that show called "Snapped?" It's kind of like 48 Hours Mystery and City Confidential combined.

I've never liked that chick flick stuff personally. Give me a good western any day over that sappy girl stuff.

By the way, my fishy friend, did you have a question for me?

Hi Tazz,

Yeah...I guess the oxygen is supposed to give you energy but the people just look kinda silly sitting at a bar with plastic tubing attached to their nose. :wah: I don't see the big deal either, when I've had oxygen, it wasn't a particularly fun thing.

No, I didn't win anything- I didn't do any gambling. I'd rather have something in my hand to show for my money. So my friend and I went shopping. We went to Sephora and I spent (gulp) just short of four hundred dollars in about an hour. I had a good time doing it too.

Hi Suzy! I was up for two days then got a little sleep night before last but not enough...then last night I was talking to my friend on Skype from something like 8 pm to I think it was 2 am? Which is the usual for us but I still haven't been to bed! I'd rather come here and play! :wah: And I am pretty much wiped!

But I am doing fine, thank you for asking. How about yourself? How's that support group going? Is it any easier to deal with since you "cleared the air?"

I'm sorry to hear that about the psychologist. Do you just not have the right connection with him/her or you just don't like having to deal with that stuff? I never liked going to mine either. Well, one I did, we have the right kind of bond, but the others left much to be desired.

You sound pretty cheery though, and I sure am glad to see that!

Thanks Red

He is an ok kind of guy, guess I just don't like having to deal with all the mess thats in my head

I never knew that you was a hairdresser until I read a post of yours the other day, so my question to you is, why did you give up hairdressing?

SuzyB;637471 wrote: Thanks Red

Believe me Suzy, I appreciate that firsthand.

I never knew that you was a hairdresser until I read a post of yours the other day, so my question to you is, why did you give up hairdressing?

Well, for a few reasons actually. The main one was because I was having a lot of trouble with my ankles from the constant standing and every night I'd go home crying from the pain. At that time, doctors were telling me I'd be in a wheelchair by the time I was 30 and that I should get a different job. I mainly quit because of the pain.

But....there were other factors too.

You know how you sorta have to find the "right" salon for you? How you have to fit in? Some are fancy, some are family oriented, some are old lady roller sets, some are chop shops? I hated moving around. My first job was at "The Pink Mink." :wah: That should tell you what kind of place it was and I was fresh out of school and not cut out for their place. And they told me so. So I moved to about three more salons before I found one I fit well in and I stayed there for a little over a year. I liked it but we had some racial tension because they were Mexican and I was a white girl. I was also working two different jobs at the time and the boss didn't like that. I felt what I did after working for her was my own business. Plus I needed the money. I brought in a crapload of clientele and my work was good but my boss refused me a raise and that grated on me because I knew I was well worth it and she could afford it. In the end we had words and I left very unprofessionally. I thought I was cool then but I was just 21 and still had a lot to learn about showing grace under pressure.

Then I moved to Apple Haircutters which was a loud, noisy chop shop. I wasn't proud to work there because everywhere else I had worked, I had fixed Apple's bad haircuts on people. They sucked. But here's the rub: my boss who was a first rate SOB, didn't like my work. Okay so I swallowed my pride and asked him to teach me *his* way. That lasted about two weeks and he told me I was doing better and not to worry, that everything was fine. Then one day this young kid came in with straight, fine, cornsilk blond hair. You know the kind of blond that shows every cut mark so you have to cut it just special? That hair. I wasn't even halfway through my cut yet when SOB came over and in front of God, my client and everyone else in the shop, YELLED at me "That looks like sh*t!" And he flicked the kid's hair. Honest to God, I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me. I was so bloody humiliated I wanted to die right then. But I sucked it down again and I said "show me what you want me to do." Which was bogus because I wasn't a student anymore, I was a professional with a license that said so. So he finished the cut and later that day when everyone had left, he said to me "Terri, is there any other kind of work you could do?"

And instead of being a b*tch right back to him, I acted like he was right and my work did suck. He was older than me and had been in the business longer so I believed him because I was young and inexperienced and had little confidence in myself. If I'd had any presence of mind, I would have said 'Well if my work sucks, how come for the last three years I've been correcting YOUR f*ccking haircuts at every shop I work in!?" But instead I slunk on home and gave up my cosmetology career that same night. I was so humiliated and so ashamed and hurt; he made me feel like the absolute stupidest f*cck on the planet. Few people have ever made me feel that bad and I still loathe that SOB for it.

Smaller reasons....

I had a fairly good clientele built up (so I must not have sucked that bad) but with every move, I'd lose a few because they didn't like the shop I was in or the price change or the travel time. Some shops wouldn't hire me unless I had my own clientele but I didn't have a big enough one that I could survive on it alone.

I was a different person then from who I am now. Thank God for that too.

I did hair and acrylics from the time I was 18 till I was 21.

I was a scared little girl back then. I was shy and didn't quite know how to handle people and deal with them the way I'm able to now. I like being around people a lot more now than I did then and I'm a lot more easygoing than I used to be so it's easier for me. I wasn't enough of a people person back then. I only went into cosmetology because I was tired of working in the wire tie factory and I wanted something better for myself and at the time that seemed like the answer. Wish I had my four grand back.

Still with me Suzy??

That's my long answer. I still do hair out of my house but not the volume I used to and I'll never do acrylics again. Did you ever have to do those? They're torture!!
