Hair Today Gone...

I usually get my hair cut about every 6 months. (Just a trim!) But it had been 9 months since I have cut my hair. I have been saving it for the last 2 1/2 years to get a big cut for "Locks of Love." That is where they make wigs for children who have Alopecia or are going through Chemo. Anyway this is the longest my hair has ever been (an inch or two abve my waist!) and it has been driving me crazy! When I was growing up I was the towhead blond with a pixie cut in the neighborhood with all of the other girls who had this beautiful blue/black long hair! So now I am the one with long hair. I don't know where any of those girls live now. But it is such a vivid memory for me! Anyway I finally couldn't stand in any longer and I cut 11 inches of hair! 10 inches went to "Locks of Love." 1 inch was left over to make my hair even! It looks so pretty now and so much easier to deal with! I also didn't realize just how scraggly it was looking!

Well I was working on my last post when my life turned upside down. I quit my job at the church. There were problems between the pastor and myself. He thought I was being bossy and I thought I was being helpful and making his life easier! Also the pay has never been good and I knew that I would have to get another job sooner or later. At the beginning of the year the talk was that I was going to get a raise in my salary and the talk was that it was going to be a big raise. At the meeting they started with a raise of $60.00 per month! (it ended up at $90.00 per month which left my take home pay the same as the year before!) I was dumbfounded! I thought they were going to at least double my present salary. (At the time I was only taking home about $230.00 per month!) Needless to say I was very disappointed at the decision. I had been the secretary there for almost 11 years! I felt that I could no longer work there and also go there so, my mom & I started going to the church where I have been going to crochet with their Dorcas Circle. We love it! I have a lot of friends there but also miss the ones that I left. So now I have been looking for a new job for the past months! Right after I quit I was watching one of the morning shows and the person they were interviewing said that with the job market now you should start looking for a job about 4 months before you want to quit. So now I am on month 3 and I have only had one interview! I didn't expect to get the job but it was good to get that under my belt. It has been over 20 years since I have been on an interview and I forgot the questions a person needs to ask. I now am ready for the next interview. Hopefully it will be soon!
