So I’ve been working two jobs. Well, technically, it’s two positions at the same workplace.

Three days a week have been on the computers, doing, eh… all sorts of stuff, playing the catch-all guy for most computer-related stuff around the Club, with most of my time spent on the e-newsletter and doing what I can on this patched together mess of a website. The other two days a week, I work an evening shift in the Deli here. Customer service and all the fun that goes with it. To make things worse, they still haven’t replaced me permanently in the Deli (I used to work it 5 days), so occasionally I have to forego a day on the newsletter and spend my evening explaining the intricacies of an oriental chicken wrap. Bleh.

Well no longer! I just found out this morning that they want me on the computers five days a week. For the first time since graduating college two years ago, I am going to work a bona fide, forty-hours-a-week, eight-in-the-morning-to-five-in-the-afternoon job. Dull it may be, but real it is as well. And much better than mindlessly serving up sandwiches all day.

Not only that, I’m getting experience, not just with technical skills, but with writing as well (I’m basically the editor of a weekly newsletter), which is really what I want to do in life.
