Part Time Job and FB Sales

May 22nd, 2015 at 11:53 am

On Wednesday I got an email that was sent out to all city employees about a part time job opportunity. It is basically to be a parking ticket attendant for Farmer's Market events and Arena events. It pays $11/hour.

I sent an email indicating my availability and interest. Thursday morning I had a reply asking me for my phone number. The person called me during my lunch hour - apparently I have the job just by virtue of expressing interest and being already employed by the city!

So today I'm supposed to go and fill out payroll paperwork during lunch. That means that I'm going to have to drive rather than walk. (The place I'm going to would be at least a ten - 15 minute walk one way, versus a 3 - 5 minute drive - not to mention the sweat factor...)

I should get at least two 2 hour shifts each week, and possibly longer/more shifts. This is only for the summer season.

It will be kind of a boring job, but it means at least $200/month extra which of course will be going towards my savings goals! Smile

Sweet!

I sold two more items on Thursday - my ironing board($3) and a set of fleece Queen sheets ($10).

The sheets were an interesting item to sell ... The first person to express interest asked a ton of questions and then after saying she'd come by at a certain time, passed about an hour before! So I sent a message to the next person in line - she had just one question - Are these really fleece and not flannel? Once I reaffirmed what I had posted in my ad (roll eyes) she was at my place 30 minutes later.

Once she got here she told me she was so excited because she didn't even know fleece sheets existed. I told her that they'd been purchased at Costco around 6 years or so ago. I have a full sized bed, and these are Queen.

Heard from brother dear the other night ... apparently he and mom agreed to hold off on the trip here until September - around her birthday. Oh well ... gives me more time to get my place into shape.

    Nice to know you have an extra source of income. Those farmer's markets are busy there, so you may find the time goes pretty fast. That seems like a great wage for a part time job, too!

    Parking attendant at Farmer's Market sounds pretty cool I love going to the Farmers Market! You can always get great finds there. Hey, maybe your food budget will see improvement if you get to know the vendors and they give you a deal.

    Thanks everyone, I'm pretty happy about the job. It does sound like it'll be a fairly busy job.

    Kiki - the money will be going to my EF goal. It might actually be possible to make my goal now with this extra income! Smile

    I just went to the Farmers Market this morning and I bet it would be fun to work there. Around here they have live music, organic food trucks, and organic products in addition to produce. If you can walk there then it will also be good exercise and the 2 hours will fly by.
