I finally found a job. Part-time esthetician at the salon/spa at JC Penny in a suburb of St. Paul.
Not the job i've dreamed of. Not the hours or benefits i'd hoped for. But i guess it is a foot in the door. I was crazy to think i'd get hired anywhere downtown until i had some experience.
Here is the real sonofabitch. Apparently there is already a Jen, and Jenny, and a Jennifer already working there. Therefore, I have to go by something else. A name of my choice.
And since I don't have to sign a contract at this place, I can take all of my clients with me when I go, so this name could very well be the name that I use for my entire career in this field.
I'd enlisted the help of friends to come up with a name, but they only gave me ridiculous ideas like Fiona, Bea, and of course Helga-the-hotwaxer.
Seriously, any ideas?
it's odd, really. I've never felt any sort of love for my name until now...when the thought of other people going by my name when i can't.
