Anything Else?

*sigh*

Went to get in my car... turn the key... and low and behold... all I hear is a 'click click click'.

What the hell.

Had to get a ride to one of my jobs.

Got the damn thing towed not even 1,000 feet away and it was $60!!! I swear on everything that if there wasn't bad luck... I'd have none at all.

I was thinking... for so long, the car was used to being parked in a garage.. now that I'm renting, I have no garage. Did it go into shock? That's what I'm thinking.

The car place called after doing their $55 diagnostic check (I swear, I'm in the wrong business... maybe I should be a mechanic).. and the damn battery was drained by the bad alternator. Now, I have to pay $60 + the $55 plus the charges for them fixing it. I'm already struggling to pay my monthly bills and rent. Then, this is piled on top.

UGH.

My seasonal job doing make-up consulting is coming to an end this month. Unless they find it in their hearts to hire me permanent. They've been impressed with my applying make-up skills and I'm hoping there will be a job opening at the end of January so they can keep me.... if not, on with the job hunt for a 2nd job again.

I did feel wonderful on Sunday. A young girl came in with her mom to get color matched with a foundation. She was using Revlon and the color was WAY too pink for her black skin. She also didn't rub it down past her jaw line, which caused a line that drives me crazy. Her mom said she was the only one to tell her the truth.. that the kids at school wouldn't tell her because kids are mean. She wanted me to talk her daughter into removing all the old make-up and letting me do her face. After a 1/2 hour.. I talked her into letting me.. she was scared and embarrassed to remove it all in public. I got it all off and color matched her skin beautifully with a Make-up Forever color. I love this line of make-up... my skin is very oily like hers and it's the only foundation I've found that works for me. If your going to spend a lot of money on any of your make-up... please.. spend it on a good foundation! I did all of her make-up... covered up her problem spots and opened up her eyes with a creamy color and a bronze color of eyeshadow. She looked BEAUTIFUL. She was so happy and almost crying thanking me. I am now going to do her make-up for Prom come this April. Also, since she had a problem with break-outs, I sent her to the Pro-Active store to get their line of cleansing products... they've made my skin beautiful since using it!! It makes my heart swell when I know I've helped someone feel better about themselves and look beautiful.

So, instead of always complaining, I thought I'd tell you something positive :)
