Only Four Jobs Mon?
January 11, 2006
Rewind two years ago. I was asked by the manager of a local adult education facility to teach a web development class. I agreed and we tried to work out the details, but because of some details like, oh, she didn't have a computer lab with more than ten computers, we had to scrap it.
Rewind two weeks ago. I receive a phone call from that very same manager stating she now has the means for me to teach the class. We begin discussing terms and details.
Present day. Tonight is the first week of an eight week course that I will be teaching on web development. It should be interesting to say the least. I've certainly taken part in teaching sessions at leadership seminars and helped others by providing "expert-level knowledge" for trainings. But for the next eight weeks, I will be on my own. Going into it, I feel quite confident with my technical skills and knowledge. But I also feel some nerves about my teaching skills.
On another note, I have recently been hired by a catering company to bartend during the Sundance Film Festival later this month and early next month. I doubt it will be a permanent thing, as is my bartending gig over at the Grand America. But it's funny because technically right now I am employed by four different organizations. In addition, I have three freelance web design projects I'm working on. What a hard working boy I am!
It reminds me of that skit on that old Fox tv show In Living Color. The sketch was about a foreign family living in the United States and all of them had several jobs. "Four jobs?! What lazy kind o' mon only have four jobs?"
