Hello from the other side! I know it's been awhile since I posted, but I've had nothing to post that would titillate the senses so I've kept mum...and to be honest I still don't have anything to post, but I'm going to anyway. So you might be asking yourselves what has our favorite blogger been up to for months? OK so you might not have been asking yourselves that but occasionally I need my ego stroked so...stroke, stroke, dammit! Since last we spoke I've taken a job in the old 9-5 grind at a cosmetology school watching the system churn out hairstylist. It's actually nice to still be in a spa-esque environment and believe it or not I still get to do some waxing and answer skin care questions. I'm just not getting paid for my services and exciting news(for me at least)my boss has approached me with the option of getting my instructors license in the near future. At first I thought this would be a good thing to pursue. Then days later I started thinking do I really want to do this? I mean I love esthetics,(anyone who's taken the time to learn how to spell it loves it)but can I take on the responsibility of turning skincare newbies into job getting, skin saving, kick ass estheticians?? The answer of course was Hell Yeah! Wouldn't that be a hoot!? Me, in charge of malleable, impressionable minds. Nashville would be overrun with smart ass, wisecracking estheticians....ahhh my vision of a beautiful world at last(insert maniacal laughter here, with gleeful hand rubbing) But back to my current job, the reason I hesitate to teach. I see the sheer hell some of these supposed adults put their instructors through and I'm unsure if I could put up that sort of treatment without a., cursing like a sailor b.,beating the shit out of a student c., cursing like a sailor...d., did I mention cursing like a sailor already? As the receptionist I hear all the gossip, see all the bad hair, see all the ripped skin(wax should never bubble before being applied to the skin ladies). I see how hard the instructors work to make class interesting and how hard students work to not learn a thing. So I have to ask myself do I want to go through the grueling agony of retaking my state boards just to teach a bunch of ungrateful kids/adults how to pop pimples and wax crotches??? I think the answer is yes, I think I do....Out of Work Estheticians/Receptionist Unite!!
