During the whole packing and getting ready for the Nicaragua trip (2 days before he left to be precise), Patrick received a life changing phone call. He was asked to audition for a job opening at the Landis Lifestyle Salon in Sugarhouse. I know what your thinking... "audition". Usually people have to interview and maybe submit a portfolio, but no... not at Landis. You have to audition which consists of 2 tasks: (1) The first is to do a one-length bob cut on a women (which I guess is one of the hardest cuts you can do because if it's not perfect you can seriously tell) and (2) do a creative and dynamic color of your choice on a model. You have to bring in your own people and product to do these tasks and you have 2 hours to complete them. You'll be judged on timeliness, creativeness, and how well you can do the bob. Let me just tell you that the task should have been just trying to find the models... If everyone show's up, you get the job. (Yeah!! I wish!!) His audition was Monday March 23rd. (I know I know. I'm behind.) As of the night before, the model getting the color was a for sure thing, but the model for the cut was totally up in the air. We had like 5 girls say they would and one after another drop out. (It's ok, we totally understood and Patrick didn't want to cut anyone's hair that didn't want to.) Finally, one of the girls who said they couldn't a couple days before, came through.
Well, we're assuming that everything went great because he got the job!! Patrick said everything went perfect! The color rocked and the cut was beautiful. The girl loved it and her mom, who was there with her, was so impressed she offered to pay him for it, even though she knew it was going to be a free cut because of the audition. I'm sure he just got another future client out of her! :D Word went around the salon how well Patrick did, that the people he knew there texted him later and told him they loved it!
SO today was his first day and he was totally excited this morning when he left. I'll let you know how it goes later!

What do you do when you've spent a whole week... literally, a whole week, planning a work party for your company's 8th anniversary party, and at the last minute (day before at 4 p.m.) your boss calls you into his office and says he's canceling the whole thing? He has his reasons, and they're valid ones at that, but seriously... a week.
