the letter i just sent out to my clients:

An Important Message:

Hi,

Five hours ago, I got the news that I was being demoted from manager to stylist (with a 43% paycut) and sent to the Clybourn STORE/SALON for "unprofessional behavior, disruptive/inappropriate conduct, and for the use of profanity."
(Amongst my transgressions, I said, "If you didn't know me, and I shopped here, you'd totally think I was a bitch," while on the sales floor, to a manager, and in front of a sales associate. Yes, I am suitably ashamed.)

So, I gave them my resignation.

As of yet, I do not have a salon nailed down. It's weird being unemployed -- I've never left one job without having another one lined up.

I do have job prospects, so I will be gainfully employed somewhere wonderful by the time you need your hair done again.

Hope to see you soon,

pixie
