So I went on a job interview tonight at a hair salon in Woburn. I had responded to an ad on craigs list and had been emailing the owner and I decided to meet her and see how I felt about it.
I have been very torn about going back to Hairdressing, I thought I'd never go back. But I realize that no matter what job I have, I am going to have people ask me the questions that are so painful. It's just in this business it's every hour or so. Plus continuos talking, which is very difficult.
I am also torn about going back to Terri's, I LOVE Terrri, she is a beautiful person, friend and boss. I just don't think I can be back in my old norm. I haven't been able to go in to anywhere in Billerica, I'm so afraid of bumping in to people. (Though Cassidy helped me conquer 2 of my fears this week when we went in to Market Basket in N. Billerica and Dunkin Donuts near us.) My anxiety was high, but I felt so much braver with her by my side.
Anyway, on my way there, I asked Alec to help me with this job decision, to help me know if I am strong enough for when people ask me questions, if I am ready to go back. And if this salon would be a good salon for me.
So I walked in and met the owner, she told me to follow her to a back room so we could talk and as I walked I saw it --
A 3 foot tall GIRAFFE statue.
It was amazing! Al always takes care of his Mama, he always helps me.
Our meeting went well, she was so nice and very understanding, I had already told her about Alec on our phone interview. She asked if she thought I was ready to come back, if I was going to be ok. I told her it was going to be hardest when people ask how old my kids are and my eyes filled. She said she knew that no matter how much time has passed that it will always bring tears. She just understood. I then told her how I asked Alec to let me know if this was a good salon for me and how I saw the Gireffe and how Alec loved Giraffes. She said oh wow, I believe in signs too, and then she noticed my giraffe pocketbook.
Then she told me that the girl that was an assistant is "23" years old.
After I asked her if I could take a picture of the giraffe for Cassidy, she said sure. (I would post the picture except I couldn't figure out how to take a picture with my phone). So we went out and she brought me over to the giraffe and she said, I don't even know how you saw it, it was in a facial room in the corner behind an open door that we walked by, I realized it was pretty incredible that I even saw it.
Of course Alec made sure I did.
