Shop Talk
The barber shop is a place where you're supposed to get your hair cut, but also a place to come to relax, to get away from the kids, the wife, sit with the boys. But mostly, you're supposed to get your hair cut, and there's no reason that you shouldn't get a good haircut when you go to your regular shop, or at least the haircut that you want. I've been a barber for almost three years, and not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good at it. In fact, I'd say the only people that get out of my chair dissatisfied are the ones that don't tell me what they want. And that's the secret of this article; you have got to talk to your barber when he asks you what kind of haircut you want.

The Cost of a Dream
In September of 2017, I quit my job. It wasn't a high-powered job office that I needed a bunch of schooling and a minimum master's degree to acquire. I was a nanny. I still am, just extremely part-time. I have been a nanny for going on six years. I enjoy my job and I am very good at it. I used to work in Santa Monica for an affluent family. The kid I helped raise went to school with kids whose parents were celebrities, writers, directors, high-powered attorneys, and fashion designers. I spoke with and saw those parents on a daily basis. I was making great money and was even interviewing with families that were much richer than the one I currently worked for. At twenty six I was offered jobs that I would make $70,000 per year plus benefits, and if I were to work that job for a minimum of a year I would easily be wanted by families who would be happy to pay me that lucrative $100K that celebrity nannies make. I was on a quick path to living a nice life while being able to travel the world on someone else's dime.

The Wedding Planner's Wedding
If you are someone who, at any point in your life, has thought about what to spend the rest of it doing, I'm sure you have heard something similar to or along the lines of "doing what you love hardly makes it seem like work." Everyone has heard this at one time or another, even if you are someone like myself who has known exactly what you wanted to be when you grew up from a very young age.

McDonald's: Closing Shift
It’s five minutes until closing time. It’s dead silent, you’re alone up in front, and there isn’t a customer in sight. I guess can start closing up, you think cheerfully. You turn your back for not even a split second, and THEY come in. THEY being a large group of late night college kids, hungry from traveling to see a game. This is the worst group of customers you will ever experience, and they always come right before close. They are the loudest, messiest, most obnoxious group on the face of this earth.

Life As a Copywriter
I write copy. I have managed to train myself in writing copy since August of 2017. I attempt to write three articles of copy per day. The website I’m a member of has me at 2-stars right now and I was previously a 3-star. Occasionally I make mistakes because of my schizophrenia. I try too hard to fix them, but then I perceive them as unfixable so I give up. I usually send articles like that back, although this time I feel I should have given up. There is far more work at level 3. But level 2 is less responsibility.
