...is going to take some time to settle in to position.
There hasn't been any effective leadership in the salon for over 6 months, so everything's gone to hell in a handbasket.
Paperwork hasn't been done properly since God only know's when, the place is filthy, and whoever's been doing the ordering is a nutjob.
We've got like 6 bottles of color remover (for wiping off excess color from the skin, post-coloring), two of which just came in yesterday, but we have less than half a bottle of cleaner, and got none in the order, because none were ordered.
I've been purging paperwork stuff from like 2001 - 2005, that easily could have been chucked in like 2002 - 2006.
And I've been going through overstocked products and have winnowed most of them down to the essentials.
I have so incredibly much more to do, though.
Months worth of more.
But that is another thing for another day.
On the cutting front, since I stopped working for Those Bastards (the new official name for the place I used to work before now), and started at Workplacery, I have had 8 clients come in to get their hair done -- 5 of them yesterday alone, and a few more on the books in the near future. I have also done a lot of other people, several of which seem inclined to return to me in the future.
And today I discovered that the produce selection at the Jewel a block away from Workplacery is a hell of a lot better than at the one by my house.
Plus, there may be no Starbucks or Caribou Coffee nearby, but I've got Avanti across the street, and Julius Meinl down the block. Both of which offer delicious beverages and reasonably-priced foodstuffs. Especially J.M.

Congrats on the new job, Pixie! New jobs are always so interesting, just because of the little idiosyncrasies of different places. Good luck.
