Found Some New Groomers Pants

With my new job starting in a few days, I needed to make sure that I had the right clothing for work.  I had never worked in a grooming salon before, so I asked my new boss what I should buy.

She told me to pickup some groomers pants for my first day at work.  It wasn’t going to be until next week, so I knew that I would have enough time if I ordered them online.

Which is exactly what I did.

The reason that I ordered them online was that I wanted to get a good deal on the clothing and have different color selections than what the local store carried.  I knew that it was going to be a work uniform, but that doesn’t mean that I need to look like everyone else, right?

I have ordered a couple pairs of pants and a few shirts to wear at work and I am hoping that they will be able to work for me while I am deciding whether or not this will be my new permanent job.  I don’t want to commit until I know for sure as I need to find something that I love and that doesn’t feel like work.

I’ll know in a couple of weeks if I have found my dream job or not – wish me luck!

Window Shopping. Literally

I know that I have said some crazy things in my life, but I think today’s blog post will take the cake.  You see, I was out today “window shopping” in the literal sense.

I was shopping for windows in Los Angeles.

It is no joke, though as I write it here at the computer, I can’t help but chuckle a little bit.

I am funny like that.

Anyway, I was out window shopping for my mother.  She accidentally broke one of her windows this week while she was cleaning them and she was too embarrassed to go out shopping for a new one for fear that the sales clerk would ask her why she needed a new window.

So, I volunteered to do it for her.  I didn’t want her to suffer any kind of shame for the predicament that she found herself in.  I tried to explain to her that I did the exact same thing just a couple of years ago when I was off to college, but that didn’t settle her one bit.

It meant I was the one that was going to have to make it happen.

I didn’t find it to be that difficult of a task since I had experience doing it, and honestly I thought it was going to be a bit fun.  I am just thankful that she asked me for the help – sometimes she can be too proud to ask.
