Brian's new job

Brian has a new job when he gets back from hunting. He has been working 1/2 time at the school as weekend custodian for a couple weeks. He was a couple weeks late starting since he was still working for the Greek on the barge project.

Anyway, they still haven't heard if he is going to get back on full time as custodian and at first, they wanted him to come in at 8 pm until midnight for 5 nights a week. and he said, I don't think so... too annoying to work that late at night for no reason and too expensive to pay $5.00 a gallon to drive all the way in there for that kind of money, half-time.

so he has been working Thursday evenings from like 3:30 to 7:30 or something and then Fridays and Saturdays, he works from 3:30 to midnight or he works Saturdays during the sports events and then an 8 hour shift from whenever they had him start. It is all very confusing and hard to plan around and sleep around.....

anyway, they had a job for a special education aide to work with emotionally disturbed children... He has been working with a lot of them after school and on weekends, because they often get detention and they often spend detention working with the custodian, especially weekend detention. of course he has that degree in law enforcement that he has never used, but the training from that degree is a lot of what they were looking for in the aide position. I am excited because for the first time ever, he will be working what I call "real person" hours - I think it is like 7:30 to 4:00 or something like that. REAL Hours ! ! ! that normal people work. I'm not claiming that we will ever be normal people........

And I had just gotten used to having complete control of the TV remote all to myself and now I'll have to share - no that's not true - there isn't any sharing... I'll have to relinquish the TV remote forever. But we can have dinner at a regular hour, go to bed at regular time, get up at a human hour and he has weekends off again. We won't even know how to act. He is excited because he has more of the summer off with this job - the custodian stays later in the summer and starts earlier in the fall, so it has been cutting into his fishing time. You know how he hates that ! ! !

Anyway, I Hope it works for him - he is really good with the kids.
