Being employed is good. Being over employed.... I hope that turns out great. I have worked at the Missionary Training Center for the past 5 months. One of the best jobs I have ever had in my life. I have extremely great co-workers, and while at times it can get a little frustrating, over all it is awesome hours, great pay and very fulfilling. With a baby on the way I thought it would be a good idea to add another job to help ends meet. I went to craigslists and searched and searched and found some great posting. What did I find?
Job one - www.tornbysports.com - Freelance writer for them. It is a sports blog that focuses mostly on Utah Sports, but covers everything else as well. Right up my ally, right? So far not so bad. I have four posts that I have gotten published, hoping to add a few more within the next few days. It isn't thing terrible hard. It helps me develop better writing and blogging skills, or so I hope. But it is a great side job, for fun.
Job two - Housekeeping. This job is not completely in the bag but it pretty much is. An extended stay hotel in American Fork needed some new housekeepers to help get things nice and clean. I have to wait until my drug test and background check get cleared, which shouldn't be to hard. Funny story... I was talking to the lady about the job. I have over a year of experience as a custodian. She was telling me about a carpet machine, known as a CFR, has never been used because no one knows how to use it. Well, I do. I spent hours using that machine and it is really a matter of a two minute training. It is not hard at all. So I will be starting that job here fairly soon.
Job three - yard work. A lady down the road from here has a daughter who got in a car accident a few years ago and so is unable to do her yard work. So she hired me to clean out the flower beds and help everything like clean and good. It isn't a lot of hours a week, but it is some. I get to spend those hours out in the sun, working on my tan lines.
This summer will be busy, but being busy is a good thing. It helps keep me out of trouble.

You work at the Missionary Training Center? :) Are you teaching?
ReplyDeleteI am not.... I work in the Referral Center in 18M. Are you still here?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no, I am not. I quite after my three years. Well, actually just a little before I hit my 3 year mark back at the end of December 2009. Anyway, I miss it TERRIBLY. Nothing will ever compare to teaching there. I worked as a Referral Center teacher my last semester. I have some friends that work in the referral center. Do you know a Sister Hatch? Thin, blonde girl? Anyway, I love reading your blog and knowing that you are doing well. Congrats on having a baby soon! Pues...Te quiero mucho, Elder. Cuidate.
ReplyDeleteI do know Sister Hatch. She is a lot of fun to work with it.
