Your best weapon may be your blowdryer

So this past week was pretty okay I guess, nothing too crazy.

I have been at the Resource Center keeping busy at my desk, which is cool. Megan had meetings like crazy, so she was hardly ever there, so I pretty much got the room to myself. I had my 60 day review on friday; they do 30-60-90 day reviews for all of their new employees just as a check up on how they're progressing. Mine was great; we went over my goals and how I'm achieving them, and how I've been liking it so far.

Oh snap, so they are letting me use the compnay card now, for legit purchases and stuff, so I basically get to sit there and shop online for stuff that we need. We ordered a flip video camera for Studio C, and we designed it to have the Gadabout logo and everything. Super cute. Went to Studio C on friday and saw Greg Laswell. It was fun; not one of the best, but still fun.

So about my goals. I started out with the desire to learn about what all it takes to run a business, specifically a salon. My focus hasn't changed; I'm still trying to figure out what really makes Gadabout tick. I'm definitely getting an insight to marketing because I'm working with Megan, which is great. After working in the location last week at the front desk, I grasped more of what kind of customer interactions need to happen. Frank, the owner, works also as a stylist, but only on thursdays, and its incredibly hard to get an appointment with him. But he offered to let me go with him one thrusday so I can see what he deals with all day, and how he deals, so I really look forward to that. I'm learning everyday that I am there and I love it love it love it.

Until we meet again,
Me
