Back to "Normal"

Sunday, August 13, 2006

Last week, my cousin and her family were in from Baltimore. We met up for breakfast one morning before their return flight. We did the usual catching up regarding school, work, family, and all the men I am NOT dating. When my cousin found out that this summer, I was truly only working one job and that job was part-time she almost fell out of her chair! She looked at my mother and said "Who is this person and where is Suzanne?".

It has been a joke among family and friends that I am always working. Back-in-the-day, In Living Color had a sketch about a Jamaican family where they all worked between 3 and 10 jobs. Whenever that skit would come on, my phone would ring off the hook with some friend or family member inquiring about my Jamaican heritage.

She will be happy to know that I will be starting a second job once school is back in session (actual start date August 23). I will probably still do the child/house/pet sitting as needed. But, I never counted that as a "real" job. And, the need for that will definitely fall off once folks are back in school (read: stop taking vacations).

I am excited about the new job. It is mostly computer work, so definitely right up my alley. I am also excited about bringing in that second check.
