Well, after a lot of beating myself up, I eventually left the salon I was working for, however I had a great time there, just the schedule they were giving me was not enough to survive on, especially for how long I held on for.
I left that job and started elsewhere, a new start, I got through two weeks of training in two days. I'll be on the floor cutting starting tomorrow! How exciting is that!
Also, The reason why this is entitled shoes.
Shoes are probably the best investment a stylist could make for his or her cutting career [out side of equipment to cut with] since my black flats [rocketdogs] were falling apart, and were horribly beat up, I invested in a pair of Sketchers. Actually two pairs, just the one I can't wear to work [Shape-Ups are the ones I can't wear to work] And the shoe I got was amazing. It was the Mary Jane style of shoe, it has one strap that goes over my foot one way, to connect to the shoe, goes through a loop to fasten via velcro to the other side. If I can remember it's name or dig up a picture, I will.
So far, I've had great success with both pairs of Sketchers I own. =) They're comfortable, cute and can help provide me the posture I need to be standing on my feet all day.
