I need to get my hair cut but I am at a crossroads with my hairdresser. He used to be so good but lately, I don't know, he's just not cutting it (no pun intended.) Do I two-time him and try someone new, only to come slinking guiltily back if it doesn't work out? I hate changing hairdressers, but I need a good haircut before I get married. It doesn't help that it's so dry with this cold that my hair looks like crap anyway...

KG if he's not making you and your hair happy, try someone else. i'm doing the same thing right now. i love the girl that's doing my hair, but i'm going to try my friend's stylist just to see how she does. the other girl loves cutting and coloring curly hair so i told her i'd give her a shot. plus she does a great job on my friend's hair (for years) and she's fun to be around.

do you have someone else in mind?

I forgot to tell you all that yesterday while driving to work in a snow storm all of the sudden 20 elk ran out in front of my car and across the road. After the initial OMG when I saw that I had to stop on the ice, luckily I was going slow, it was the most beautiful scene of elk just flowing like a river across the road and back into the forest. Those are the things we live for!

This morning was a little different. I drove down the freeway no elk but there was this beautiful cloud hanging over the downtown area of our little rural town and the sun was just starting to peak out so the cloud had this yellow/orange iridescent glow. With the backdrop of the snow covered mountain it was spectacular.

Oooh, so I'd get to see the Golden Gate!

I called and left the soon-to-be boss a voice mail that I'd like to talk with her, I'm going to accept the position...YIKES!!!!

UPDATE: Every communication I had with this company after the initial interview has gone from bad to worse. Their lack of communication was maddening...I accepted the job, the boss said "great, you're hired!!", then her boss calls (two hours later than he said he'd call) offers no apology and says the job offer is actually contingent upon two more interviews with him and the CEO, the CEO interview will take place in SF the week AFTER I start.

During the interview I was told I'd be going to SF for a week of training...then it's "we'll fly you out early morning on the 13th so you can meet the CEO that afternoon, then you'll fly home the next day", followed by another email saying "oh by the way, it's too expensive to fly you from Champaign, we want you to drive to Chicago (O'Hare) for a 6am flight". Well, O'Hare is a 3.5 to 4 hour drive depending on traffic, so I'm supposed to leave home at 1am to get to the airport in time to go through security, fly to SF for an interview after being up all night, then fly home the next afternoon and drive 3.5 to 4 hours home??

I contacted them today and declined their offer...I feel like a weight is off my shoulders!

[KnottedYet]

Well, it's probably for the best!

sounds like a weird way to run a hiring process... jeez! And asking you to drive to Chicago cuz they can't afford to fly you from Champaign? Weird.

(if they can't afford to fly you, how can they afford to pay you a wage?)

(hey, this wasn't Corbis, was it?)

It was really weird, I kept thinking it was some laid-back/mellow/groovy California thing and I was just supposed to "chill" about the details??

And nope it was Corbis.

[KnottedYet]

er, ewwwww. I thought you were going for a job within a university system.

Um, Corbis isn't the best.

You are better off waiting for something else. Whew!
