Who Wants My Job?
so, the first week of august i am quitting my job as the community relations assistant at trezevant manor, a retirement community on highland. let me tell you a little about it.
i go in three weekdays per week (occasionally four) for about three hours in the afternoon. contrary to popular belief, i do not then proceed to tend to old sick people. i work in the part of trezevant that is just a retirement community. there are also an assisted living center and a health center, but i am not involved with those. so all the old people are well and sane, if a little senile. i spend most of my time doing minimum wage work like making copies, folding calendars, stuffing mailboxes, delivering messages, compiling folders and newsletters, organizing the office, etc etc. except instead of minimum wage i get $8 an hour. which is really nice, if you dont know. my boss is a good boss and a pretty nice and laidback lady named carol. shes the director of resident services.
there is also a significant amount of unpredictable downtime. some days are incredibly busy, and others i have had up to two hours to just do homework or read or whatever i need to do, which is pretty convenient since, you know, i go to highschool.
the weekdays are pretty flexible. i work generally monday wednesday thursday, but the boy who had the job before me worked tuesday wednesday thursday, and its pretty easy to switch up a day if you need to. the only day that is not flexible is saturday. this is, in my opinion, the only downside to the job. i have to work saturdays from 6 to about 915pm, calling bingo numbers in the dining room. i have to speak loudly and clearly into a pretty bad microphone. i dont really know why i have to be there at six because i dont do anything till seven. but i do. the bingo is not difficult or confusing, its just that its saturday nights. however, my brother works every weekend until 11, so i guess its a pretty good deal.
i get paid about $170 every other wednesday for about 12 hours per week. however, if i wanted to, i could ask carol for some more hours, come in more often, etc, and thereby make more money.
also, i have to find my own replacement starting beginning of august. so, if you want my job, please tell me, for serious, and i will get you an interview.
also, you have to pass a drug test.
thanks for your time,
