jobs and cars
I don't really have a job. I have managed to land some independent contractor jobs. The first one was installing signature capture devices in Macy's stores around the KC area. That was over in 2 weeks. I had one job where we went into Sprint and at 12 midnight we pulled the plug on several Cisco routers, and swapped them out for some upgraded ones. That was fun, but only lasted one day. I am currently working with a company that has a contract to install new PCs in the Blue Valley School District. This may run for a couple of months, so it is almost like having a steady job. I am also getting paid to go watch the KC Wizards home games. I am a commentator for the games. I sit in the stands with my cellphone, and announce major events (goals, yellow cards, penalty kicks) to someone who can barely understand english. I am told that my information is used to update live stats on a website somewhere. It sounds a little weird, but I have done it twice, and have gotten paid for both games. I get paid through PayPal a total of £55.00 GBP which converts to a little over $100 USD per game. The company is still looking for more commentators for the KC Wizards home games, so if you have a basic knowledge of soccer and would like to get paid to watch the Wizards play, I can give you the contact information.
Paula's car died. Engine needs replaced. Can't afford it. My Mom offered to help. She paid for a major portion of a new car, and let us finance the rest through her. We now own a 2002 PT Cruiser. WOOT! She also gave me money to fix the brakes on my car. Wow! My mom is wonderful.
