It’s My Imagination

I’ve Got a New Job

I really wasn’t wanting to find a job outside the home and I wasn’t looking for one, but it’s happened, I’ve got a new job.

My daughter’s guitar teacher needed an assistant to do his office work. He previously had one of his high school age students working for him, but the kid quit last week. We sort of discussed it that very day, but I wanted to give the instructor time to really think about who he wanted working for me. Plus, I didn’t know if the kid had just had a bad day and would be coming back, or if he’d decided to go out and get a job in trucking or something else.

When I took my daughter in for her lesson yesterday, he asked me again, this time with a real seriousness. We decided to try to get together when he didn’t have a student and talk about the possibility. My biggest issue is that I have mornings available, but, as an artist, his day usually doesn’t start until 1:00 P.M. My afternoons get really busy from the time I pick my daughter up from school until we go to bed. So we have a bit of a conflicting schedule.

I did meet with him today and he basically put me to work. He really just wants me to work up to 20 hours per week, Monday - Thursday. I think he finally understood how busy my afternoons are though and as I was running out the door to go to my Destination Imagination meeting, he commented that perhaps, once I get the hang of things, I could do my work in the mornings. For the most part we don’t have to be in the studio at the same time.

This could turn out to be the perfect job for me! The job is mine if I want it, I just have to let him know.
