Change in Work Schedule

After finalizing everything with the flower shop yesterday, Josie went to the office to discuss the opportunity with the scheduling person (Harv) in the office. He indicated that normally there would be no problem with her doing the Valentine's Day work schedule but there was a problem this time. It turns out that there is a huge RV Club coming in next weekend and the park needs every worker for the whole weekend. So, Josie had to call the manager at the flower shop and tell her the bad news. She understood and the door was left open for any future needs at the shop. Other than that, it was a quiet day at home. Josie did some laundry in the afternoon and we picked up one of her prescriptions at Walmart.

Today begins our normal work schedule. The days are longer than normal, 9 AM to 6 PM (or 8 AM to 5 PM), but we only have to work 4 days of the week. We did work several days with this kind of schedule at Happy Jack so we are somewhat used to it. We prefer to have the 3 days off per week anyway. Also, there are a couple extra responsibilities with this job. We occasionally have to take the phone home to handle late, after hours reservations or inquiries, and occasionally I have to do patrol at 9 PM to make sure that everything is locked up and all guests are quiet. We get credit for an extra hour (each) each day we have to do these.

We are looking forward to a good experience here. The length of time we stay depends on a couple things. First, do we enjoy it enough to stay longer than 4-6 months, and second, can we make enough money to meet our goals if we stay. Time will tell...
