As I was doing my 10K (6.2 mi) Volksmarch around Mitchell Lake Audubon Society this morning, Snelling texted me to start work at noon today. Texting back, I told her I was four miles into a six-mile walk and I would not make noon as I needed to finish my walk, then shower. (It was already 10:30 a.m.!) She told me I could be a little late. At 12:30 p.m. I got there for training. Luckily, the exhibitor check-in registration is really easy.

I'll tell you more about that when I have more time to write. Sunday I work 12-1/2 hours, Monday 11 hours, Tuesday 4-1/4 hours and Wednesday 8 hours, then back to my part-time job at the RV park on Thursday and Friday. Whew. No rest until NEXT weekend.

On a different note: Our hearts go out to all the people in Calgary, Kananaskis and across southern Alberta who have been impacted by the massive flooding. We hope you, your loved ones, and pets are all okay. The videos we saw were incredible!

That's it for the next couple of days. Don't worry if you don't hear from me, I'll be busy earning some wages. Yay!

Read All About It! - Mon., May 6

When it rains, it pours. Some weeks life drones on like your ship is stuck in the doldrums. Then there's the past few days.

First, I was asked to be a guest blogger on CoffeyTalk.com under her "Articles and Information" button where I am in the "Travel and Transportation" category. The blog is honorary, no pay involved, but she has a readership of 20,000. If even a hundred readers find their way to my blog, that's pretty cool.

Next I got hired part-time at our RV park office. I start Thursday. It's only one to two days per week, but I'll be learning the reservation system, office procedures, selling items from the store, taking payment for propane, stocking shelves, dusting, filing, organizing, you name it...whatever needs to be done.

No sooner had I accepted the RV park job, when a temp agency called to ask if I could take a four-week assignment as an admin assistant. We discussed it and I was honest with her that I am starting a part-time job on Thursday.

The job the temp agency offered me is 30 minutes away, even the recruiter said that's pretty far to go. I told her I am very interested in temp work and my day here at the RV park is flexible so I could work on Saturday. She will keep looking for a position for me, but closer to where we are.

Now that's the kind of news that lifts my spirits.
