I have a lot of respect for those out there who work more than one or two jobs to make a living. This past month I have been experiencing that very concept. I recently got a job working as an intern for a small business called, Campus Marketing Specialists, helping the art department design promotional items for college campuses all over the United States.
My typical day: wake up at 6:05 AM, get ready, then drive to Sunset Max Station. Once I get to the Max Station I take it to the Yamhill District in Portland. I usually arrive around 7:30 AM ( I don’t start work until 8 AM). During that half hour I read Harry Potter. I just finished the first book! (Oh, Harry!) From 8 AM- 4 PM, I help design posters, carabiners, pedometers, flyers, t shirts etc. Then I go home OR I go straight to McMenamins on the Max.
Therefore, I also just finished training to work in the kitchen at McMenamins on Broadway, located downtown Portland. At this particular restaurant, the employees are required to learn aspects of being a server as well as a kitchen person, I guess the chef to be more technical.
Working both in one day can be draining, but it will be all worth it because I will pay off some big bills.
The thing is…. I just don’t know how much more my body can take…
