New Job: Stylist

I helped with Picture Day at DuckyBoy's school today. Not very impressive, these school photographers. The sales rep was all rosy - "oh, we're trying something new... basically one seasoned pro plus 2 newbies, the old hand is here to make sure they're doing the right things."

Actually, the pro was doing a third of the work, and the other 2 were on their own. Sure, if they got stuck or needed help they could consult him, but it's not like he was watching them. At all.

They were three all about the same -- as I said on my other blog, the one guy thought TALKING LOUDER was the way to get the autistic kids to cooperate (not that he knew they were autistic, but don'tcha have a clue?; the others paid no attention to collars, necklaces askew, or mussed hair.

I was able to spend time for a few classes to do the styling-- even got to tie one kid's tie (do you really send your 4th grader to school without his tie tied and just hope someone can tie it??). But isn't that their job? Guess not.

Well, retake day is already set for November! We'll see how the retake rate is.
