On the board

So, I got an interesting phone call today. Cindy Meyers, the woman who runs the cosmetology department at the vocational school here in town, called with a proposition. She had an opening on the advisory board for the cosmetology dept. Her next words shocked me to my toenails. "Would you be interested in filling the position?" Would I be interested? You bet your sweet ass I am interested! How effing cool is this? I've been graduated from cosmetology school for all of 15 months, I've been a salon manager for 6 months and now I'm being asked to sit on an advisory board for a cosmetology school? Talk about an ego boost...

So what does the advisory board do? Good question, and one I had to ask myself. Turns out, the advisory board helps to shape the direction of the curriculum and training by, well, advising on the subjects. And they want little ol' me to help them with that? Oh boy, I'm practically rubbing my hands in anticipation. Granted, I'm prolly making it out to be more than what it is, but to me, this is a pretty big deal. Since I've made the decision to get a cosmetology license, everything seems to be falling into place (professionally, if not personally) for me. It almost makes me wish I had started this years ago. But better late than never, right?

I'll be getting my "official" letter of invitation in the mail in a few days, instructing me of the times and places of the meetings (I believe she said the words "open bar", but I was too excited to catch everything). And you better believe this little tidbit will be making it's way onto my resume!
