I miss my job


It's true, I miss doing hair. I left Provo, UT to Boise, ID and paid my dues so my license could follow me too. I have been waiting for about a month for my license to come in the mail and I thought the day had come when I got some mail from the Idaho board of licensing. It wasn't my license, it was an application to take the Idaho state boards. I HATE taking the boards with all my heart. Not only do I hate taking test, but I hate that I have to take a test that I already passed 4 years ago, and was told I wouldn't have to take it again for Idahos cosmetology license, and I have to pay an arm and a leg to take. There are 2 parts to the test, written and practical...neither fun.

So, here's the plan. I get a job doing something else in the mean time while I get my money and practical exam kit together (cost about $800 for the whole kit last time I took the practical). I already have a job lined up in a salon and they said they will keep the chair open for me and I'm still allowed to go to the shows the salon is putting on, but since I don't have my license all I can do is watch, no touching the models hair:(

So, if anyone hears of a job that will do me some good let me know. In the mean time I am excited to see when this can all happen cause I'm DONE waiting.

Now that I have vented to my blog, cause I'm sure Hyrum and my mom are sick of hearing about it, I feel better and will be a more positive person:)

I'm sure you'll do fine! I hate taking tests and especially one that you've already taken AND passed! Annoying. But you can do it!! Good luck and let us know what happens.

P.S. Are you going to be in Visalia for the holidays?

Margaret, ohhh i totally hear ya! That does stink. That is a CHUNK of money. Yeah so I want to teach these girls in our ward dance, but have to go through all this paper work if I want to teach it at the school since I would be charging. It is so dumb. I have to get insurance, and a contract license, etc, etc. I just want to teach! Well, I also wanted to vent the other day when Justin got caught on the CELL PHONE and the cop said it would only be a $25 fine, but instead was $100!!!!! I HATE CA and all its DUMB LAWS. He was just pulling out of the parking lot and the cop got him. HOW DUMB!!! SOOOOOOO DUMB. HE was barely going over 20mph and the cop wrights him up. LAME LAME LAME!! Sometimes I hate being an adult and having to deal with all the FINANCES!!! It makes me sick to my stomach sometimes. But anyways, just wanted to do some venting also! Hang in there!! Say a PRAYER, you'll pass!!! Miss you TONS! HEy, and call me if you ever want to VENT to me!!!!
