Well hello there my friends!! It’s so good to be able to spend a little bit of time with you all today!! I’ve been catching up on all of your blogs and you all seem to be just as busy as I am!!
If you remember a few weeks back… when I actually had a little bit of time to blog… I told you all that I would have 4 jobs starting this fall… Let me just recap for you:
- Restaurant Job (Nights and Weekends)
[I asked for an old job back when I was jobless… read about it HERE] - ASL Interpreter (On Call 24/7)
[I signed up with one agency… hopefully more in the future!!] - Preschool Educational Aide (Monday through Thursdays)
[Job I was doing in May… now full-time tho!] - Substitute Teacher (Fridays)
[I can now sub for any interpreters in the area as well as teachers!!]
Well, since then I have signed up with one more interpreting agency. I have not yet worked for them as my schedule is super busy!! The past couple weeks I’ve been working 60+ hour weeks! Having 40 hours by Wednesday night! CRAZY!! I’m just a tad tired … and now sick… BUT I’m still feeling super blessed as you can read in this post from back in July.
Let me recap a few things from these past couple of weeks:
3 weeks ago I had new employee training and beginning of the school year meetings all week long! We were emailed before our training and this is what it said:
Please dress comfortably with closed-toe shoes. There
will be a lot of physical movement required and close
contact with other participants.
Sure I’ll wear jeans and my Brooks Pure Flows to work… no problem!!! ;) I also made sure I had plenty of deodorant on too!
I got to eat outside a couple days and the weather was gorgeous! (the minion on my banana made me smile!)
They even fed us lunch one day:
The next week we walked into the classroom and had boxes piled to above my head with no walking space and it took us that whole week to unpack and get everything situated and ready for the kids the following week! Let me tell you… I prolly spent a whole day laminating and cutting things out! lol… it was a lot of work, but by Thursday it actually looked like a preschool classroom!
Then, this past Monday was the day I had been waiting for… the kiddos first day of school!!! (Notice the difference in clothing from training to first day of school!) ;)
What?! Thanks for noticing!! I did indeed get my ratty birds nest hair chopped off! It had been a year since I got it cut and i figured it was about time because no amount of detangler would untangle that mess anymore! I wanted it to be longer, but you know the deal.. you tell them an inch they take 6… am I right?!! :-P
Anyways… so working 14 hour days (8 at pre-k and 6 at DQ after that) kinda did me in and then getting hugs and snot wiped on you doesn’t help and now i’m sick… I’ve been downing the water and vitamin C hoping to get rid of it as soon as possible!! I didn’t get a whole lot of working out in, but once I get more accustomed to my crazy schedule I’m sure I’ll be able to get my workouts in!!
How was your week?
How long do you go between haircuts?
What do you do for a living? Work more than one job?
