New Job

So after three years of being a security guard part time on the weekends, I have changed jobs. Working night shifts was getting hard, especially with Jada working too. Our typical weekend used to be I would start work Friday night/ Saturday morning at midnight and work until 8 am. I would get home and go to bed by about 8:30. I would then sleep until 2 pm when Jada would wake me up just as she was leaving for work. Jada gets home from work at either 10:30 or 11:30 depending on when Walmart closed, just in time for me to go back to work. I would get home on Sunday at 8 am, sleep for a couple hours then try to get up for church. As soon as church was over Jada would have to go to work, so I would be up with the kids until their bedtime, at which point I would go to bed too. Doing this and switching between my day and night scheduale turned out to be really hard, but it worked so we did it for years (except summers when I was in Waterton).

Enter my new job. I recently got a job working for the Lethbridge Herald. Basically I'm one of the guys who drops off the bundles of papers for the newspaper carriers. Basically I show up at the Herald early at 3:30 am pick up the papers, drive to 17 houses (thats all I have on my route) and go home and back to bed. The whole process takes about an hour. The really cool part is it pays almost double what the security agency paid. For an hour of work a day I get anywhere between 40 and 60 dollers depending on some circumstances. That works out to between 1200 and 1500 per month for 1 hour of work per day. The only inconvience is waking up every morning early to run out for an hour. But all my classes start late and I can go back to bed before getting up for school or church or whatever. This is exciting for us becasue we will be able to do things as a family on Saturday mornngs again, which we havn't done for a long time. Sundays are also way better as I won't be falling asleep during the meetings.

So yea for new jobs. I've always liked math and this seems to be a winning formula to be. Less work + more money = good deal!
