My Second Job

    Because of physical problems, I wasn't able to do the bartending job that I wanted to do. Instead I am working at a nearby gas station and I really like it! Okay, okay, I've screwed up more than a few times with the cash register and breaking shift, but I'm learning! haha

    It's graveyard and for about three hours we have no customers, so I am making Christmas presents. I am also studying to get my driver's licence again. I have a Cabriolet in my garage that is just begging me to get out on the road.

    Yesterday my new boss told me that (in spite of all the screw ups) she likes me very much and thinks that I should consider replacing her as manager when she retires. I got my first paycheck Friday and it's so great having extra money and not worrying about bills. I get paid pretty good considering I only work three nights a week.

    My day job is wonderful, but definitely dead end as far as making more money. Recently a position came up that would increase my earnings by $400 a month. I told my boss that I am going to go for it. She wanted to see the job description and discussed it with our main boss. She and he decided that I do everything that this higher position entails and they are going to see if they can reclassify my job! That would mean I could stay where I am, do the same things I do and get $400 more a month! Meanwhile, I am still applying for this better job within the college district. Things are looking up financially for me finally.
