(no subject)

Capitol Hill has a weird vibe tonight. It's feeling a little sketchy. There were a few smash n' grabs last night by the salon (I saw another a week or so ago), the cops are edgy (because of the shootings and the asshole they are looking for), weird people are lurking about (not the usual weird people either), and now one of my co-workers saw a dude that was covered in blood and cops that were looking for him.

Can't wait to get home tonight.

I may be leaving the hill for a while, if December's paychecks are total and complete crap. There are more stylists than are needed here and I'm tired of being flat broke. There's a place I'm eyeing that I may have go through a training program to get into - but it's only 6 months, and I'd really really like to work there. I don't mind getting some more training, I think some of my skills are getting rusty and I'd like to concentrate on some more color skills. We will see. I don't know how they'd feel about a stylist who has not only experience but is also fairly good at what they do wanting to be in their low end programs. :) I'll see when I talk to them - after the new year. January would be the perfect time to get in with them, as it's the dead season until summer. Besides, i doubt they pay less than i am making here. I've already decided that i will not spend another year broke without a light at the end of the tunnel.
