Working. It’s working.
Starting last Thursday, I’ve been going to work. I’m now wrapping up my first weekend of this job. Of, you could say, Job 2.0, because I’m back as a Valet driver (called a “hiker”) at Portland International Airport.
A few things have changed at the job since I’d last worked it (I got furloughed mid-March 2020; you can read about that in these blog entries), but the changes are manageable. I’m adapting to them. A few people from the 2020 valet crew are still there, so there’s some continuity, and I’m learning about the newer people. They’ve all been nice and accommodating as I re-learn the ropes.
Winter is hanging on like a cat on a motivational poster: it’s been cold, and often cold-and-raining. Luckily I have, of course, a coat, and on my second day I started once again to wear my knit cap, the one I had before. I’m wearing the same uniform I wore from 2018 to 2020.
Soon, I will start getting paychecks. Soon, it will get warmer. Soon, I will have the funds to do more.
And very soon, very very early tomorrow, I’ll wake up for my first full week. Five days of work, instead of four. Wednesday through Sunday.
…huh. I thought maybe I should just do a blog entry saying “Right now I have nothing to say.” This…is better.
