Started a new job



I started a new job yesterday. For now, I am a membership enrollment specialist (MES) at the Skyline YMCA. This is the same job daughter Carrie has at a different location, and it's also what Jane started out as (also at a different location). It is a part-time job, and I am scheduled to work the 5-9 am slot several days a week.

This week I work 5-8 am on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I also had a 3-hour CPR certification course there today. I trained with Sam (Samantha), and tomorrow Bryce and I will work together - we are both new but he has worked at another Y.

Today I received my keys to the Y as well as the Ash Building. Tomorrow I'm supposed to get my work shirt and name tag.

So far it hasn't been terrible. I've gotten up at 4 am and leave about 4:40. I'm kind of tired, but it's actually somewhat nice to be forced into changing my routine. I've wanted to do that for a while now. Tomorrow may be a chore, though, because we are scheduled to work a concert tonight (at church) and after working tomorrow I have a seminar (also at church) from 9 am to 4 pm. I may be dragging a bit tomorrow night.

All in all, I think I will like the job. Skyline is a smaller Y - there is no pool, gymnasium or childwatch. You also have to be at least 15 years old to be in the building. It is mostly office people who work downtown who use this facility. I rather like that there won't be a lot of activity.

So, that's what I will be doing with some of my time. We will see where this takes me...
