Job Update

I mentioned earlier that I had a job interview while in Utah. I didn't get that job, but I got two other jobs. I now work two part-time jobs, and life is very crazy.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm the "office assistant" at a local nursery. In theory, I help with accounts payable and accounts receivable. In reality, I do all kinds of things. I've discovered that working in corporate finance does not translate into being accounting saavy. Fortunately, I am learning slowly but surely.

I also do SAT and ACT prep for a local center. I tutor high school students (in two-hour blocks) for the verbal portion of the SAT or ACT. Being anal about grammar is a big help, and the kids have been great so far.

Going from no jobs to two jobs created challenges at home. I think we're getting into a rhythm at last. When I go to work, Camille just says, "Bye Mom" and gives me a hug.
