I'm finally feeling a little bit better and there is finally work available again...so today was my first day "back to work" since everything got so crazy in March. I'm SO excited to be doing what I love again!
I realized while I was setting up my new planner on Friday that I've been working as a law enforcement transcriptionist for a year now. I really love being able to work from home and set my own hours. If I want to work during the day, I can. If I want to do something else the next day and work during the night while everyone is asleep, I can. If I want to take a day off, I can. As long as the files I've chosen are completed by the deadline, that's all that matters. I can pick how big of a file I want to take on or how many files I want to claim.
Not only do I love the flexibility, I love the work itself. I love working in a law enforcement field. I love being able to provide a service that makes a difference. It isn't always easy, but I definitely think it is worth it. So I hope to continue doing this work for many years to come! :)
Johnny is also still working from home for the USPS. Their ability to work from home has so far been extended to September. We are hoping that he will be able to continue working from home until a vaccine is available, since he is in a high risk population. Johnny also won a successful bid for a promotion to the lead agent position. He had been working the position off and on already when other agents were absent, but he finally got a permanent position on the lead team. So we're very excited about that! :)
Aubry still has her job as well. A couple months ago she was promoted from dishwasher to cook which came with a raise. What started as a part-time job after school and on weekends turned into full-time hours throughout the stay-at-home order. I think she's back to being scheduled to work just 4-5 days per week, but there for awhile she was working 6-7 days a week. She is still saving up to purchase her own car...so hopefully that'll happen soon for her. :) I'm very proud of the good work ethic she has shown. That is something which will serve her well in all her future endeavors!
Ashlyn is still uninterested in finding a job. She's only 15, so it's not like she has to get a job right now or anything. But...she talks about buying a car an awful lot for a person who doesn't have a job. ;) Johnny took her driving the other day so that she could log more hours for her restricted license. He made the mistake of letting her drive to a car lot. :P Now all she talks about is the car she is planning to buy. Not planning like someday in the future...planning to buy right now. Uh huh...suuuure. ;)
Well...I better get back to work!
