I quit

on: Jul/13/04 and its been viewed 903 times

I did the resignation thing today - and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks to UptownGirl, Linda, Vickie, Lori, Mog, Daniel, Vinny and Nikoms for words of support and encouragement - - it truly helps to hear rational voices of reason when my stomach is tied in knots.

My official last day in this position is August 10th - - and they even gave me the days off that I need for the training in Atlanta. WHEW!

To celebrate - - I did what any self respecting woman would do, under these circumstances…. I made an appointment and treated myself to a color refresher and hair cut:

Chris called me on my cell during the haircut. He likes my hair long - - some guys are funny that way. Lucky him that I like the long tresses, too. The conversation went something like this:

*Ring*
Me: Hello
Chris: Hey, baby - what’cha doin?
Me: Getting my hair done
Chris: Cut?
Me: Yep
Chris: 1/2 half inch - that’s it!
Me: Yea, yea
Chris: I want to hear you tell Jenny that (my stylist)
Me: (to Jenny) Hey, Jenny - Chris says 1/2 inch only
Jenny: Yea - No problem
Me: See? She agreed.
Chris: Ok then - talk to you later, bye!
Me: Bye Bye

Jenny: (after Chris hangs up) Yea - 1/2 inch….AT A TIME!

::rolls eyes:: Men.

I ended up getting and inch and a half cut off. Men just don’t understand the concept of frayed ends, do they?

    LOVE the hair! I’m so happy for you. You look great, which appears to be a direct reflection of your choice.

    An inch and a half is basic maintenance on summer hair that has been in the sun, pool and just overall summer weather. It looks great. Healthy, shiny and smooth. Very pretty :)

    That’s why men are smarter. I can cook, but why would I when she does it? ;)
