there's an inexplicably catatonic mexican woman behind me, isn't there?

So, after months of threatening to do so, I finally cut my hair for charity.
The Verdict: ...Eh.



It looks ok, I suppose, but it's sooooo short :(

in other job news....it's like i was just hit by a hurricane of job chaos this past week or two.
it started with me leaving a note at the country club saying I was going to be gone 3 wknds in May and that I'd gladly take the shifts of whoever could fill in for me.
Little did I know this was going to cause my boss to freak out and call me, telling me that when I was hired I agreed things like this wouldn't happen; which was news to me. He then proceeded to ask me how often "this is going to happen" (this being the shows I perform in), to which I replied, "Well, my next show probably won't be until November", enter the Boss: "*Napoleon Dynamite siiiiiiiigh* You know, I really don't need this right now, and if this problem is going to be a regular thing, we're going to have to find a reliable worker to take your place."
What the heck?! I'm not going on holiday here, bud, this is school! So this conversation ended with him saying I'd have to come in from 8-12 on the two show weekends and work anyways and that he'd try to find someone to take my other shifts.
Gah!
So this situation ended with me calling the next day and leaving a voicemail with my two weeks notice, telling him that my schedule is obviously too unpredictable for their liking so I'll leave. This resulted in him calling and saying "You're a valued employee, and we don't want to lose you. It's hard to find someone we trust and obviously it's not economical right now for us to go through training with a new employee. So, if you will, do you think you could hold on through may til june and we'll see how it goes for the summer?" Which, to me, sounded like "We don't want to hire someone right now and train them. Please stay"
But, being the doormat that I am, I agreed to stay on T_T My chums in Evita say I'm being too nice and offered all sorts of "advice" on how I should quit (my favorite was dropping one fire ant down my boss' cast on his leg)
So, that kinda stunk...especially since this past weekend was the invitational and I had to work about 12 hours both Saturday and Sunday, which was torturous, but apart from that, I recently got really great job news that makes this all ok!

I got hired at Edwards Cinema! Yay! Free movies for Missy! Aaaaand, I got a call the other day from Dr. Falconer at the Tutoring Center at Cal State, so I may have 3 jobs come next school term (including Rabobank, if I ever decide to work there)! Yay! Praise the Lord! God is good!
So now I'm really going to have to quit the country club for real, which should be disasterous, but hopefully I'll have a back bone and actually quit this time :/ (I'll bring an ant just in case :D)

So that's that. A lot has happened in the past couple weeks, but God has gotten me through it :D And now we approach tech weekend, which should be fun :D and soon we get to open! yay Evita! I love this show and my cast member so much!

Sorry you all had to endure a whole lot of ranting, but I really needed to get it all out, thanks for reading my dear listeners, and I will see you next time!

Until then,
mjl.
