Off season work
I applied for a retail job today. Strange, huh? But it's a highly recommended company, and I applied for a job doing what I do now (schedules, time sheets, staff training...). I'll keep you posted!
I like what I do at work, I really do. However, we have a 1,000 hour cap. That means that if I work 40 hours throughout our 9 week summer season (and that's on the low end, I've been working 40s since before summer started but that's last fiscal year), that's 360. In the remaining 43 weeks, I can average 14.88 hours per week. Two issues with this- one, it's going to be a stretch for them to run the pool with each of us for 15 hours (the last off season, we were all doing 25-30, but it didn't matter then because we didn't work from July 1st through October 13th). Secondly, I'm used to checks for 25-40 hour weeks. 15 hour weeks mean I take home about $600 after taxes each month. Not sure you can call that a job even, I probably spend more than that in eating lunch out and gas money.
I might not quit my current job, just come in, do my 15 hours, and go to a real job. =P Come next May, I'll see how the real job thing is working out to decide whether or not to go back to the pool "full time."
