Well, things have been pretty busy since my last entry. My husband came home from work two fridays ago, no longer with a job. Middle management was cut due to the construction slow down. "Thank you for playing, no severance, benefits are good until the end of the month, good-bye!"
I've been in a panic, so I found some quick promotional modeling gigs. I'm 40 years old, so I felt pretty stupid when I got to my first job and all the girls were 19 and knockouts!
I was determined to rely on my sales ability and not be shown up, so I made sure I was always early every day. I stood up longer than anyone else, and I talked enthusiastically to as many people as I could. I didn't complain, and did whatever I was told without question.
These gigs last 12 hours a day and longer, standing up in the sun, but I'm making pretty good money in a short amount of time. I have another six days this week, I hope I make it. I sure feel my ankles and back more than I used to.
I'm worried about the upcoming weeks. It's going to be hard for me to take these kind of jobs, because my husband could start getting interviews, and then we need someone to watch the kids. Maybe I should start looking for weekend work until he gets a job.
