Jason's Jobs Update 7/23/08

Jason has been SOOOOOOOOOO busy this summer. He has been working two jobs and 7 days a week.

His first job is placing new home development signs for his brother’s booming business in Elk Grove and Natomas (two neighboring communities of Sacramento. It takes up Friday nights and/or Saturday mornings as well as Sunday nights and/or Monday mornings. It is hard work and takes about 7-8 hours to do, but we cannot complain about the income it provides FOR SURE. Mindy actually assists him by driving the truck so he can easily jump out and place the signs. It is the time for both of us to be together as we hardly get the opportunity to see each other and talk. It isn’t so bad once we get going, it’s the getting going that is the hardest. Jason will be keeping this job in the fall due to the great income it provides and since it will not conflict with his schooling.

The second job Jason has been doing is installing security systems for Pinnacle Security. He works Monday through Saturday and usually starts between 10am and 1pm and sometimes does not get home until 12midnight. Since the work is paid by the install, Jason is trying to get as many as he can to help with money and his end of summer bonus. It is hard work, with sometime when he is just waiting for an install usually in the area playing his PSP pr watching a movie on it. He usually gets 2-3 a day and that is great for the weekly income as well. He is hoping for a service tech position in the fall, but we will not know about it until close to fall. He would be able to do this on the days he is not in school. He has enjoyed it for the most part, but hates the fact that he really can’t spend time with me, go on vacations, or spend time with all the family that is around.

Jason is doing an amazing job. Mindy is so grateful for his efforts as it has allowed her the MUCH needed time off work right now. We are looking forward to the fall when we will be able to see each other hopefully a few more evenings. And yes, Jason will be reffing again this fall, but only on Thursdays and Fridays, not Saturdays like he did last year : ) Way to go Jason for working his butt off !!!!!!!!!!!!!
