I Work Hard For The Money

June 13, 2005

When I started my job two years, three months, and three days ago, I was working four ten-hour days so that I could have Fridays off to finish my degree. Needless to say, it was not that fun. But once I got used to waking up at five in the morning, it became very desirable. In fact, I liked it so much that once I graduated I asked my boss if I could continue it indefinitely. She said no, that I needed to be there 8-5 Monday through Friday.

But one good thing that happens every summer, is that the entire district goes on the 4 day-10 hour schedule. Today is the first day of FIVE weeks of this schedule, but with July 4th and 24th, I'll be working four days a week for the next SEVEN weeks. I'm excited. I've got several one-night camping trips planned and I'll most likely be leaving town a couple of times as well.

All I have to do is get through these next couple of days and it gets incredibly easier.
