a workin' girl

i was chatting with some friends the other day and realized that, since the time i was 15 years old, there has only been a period of about six months total where i haven't worked. from a seasonal holiday job at bath & body works to part-time positions through high school and college and full-time positions during the summers and after graduation to teaching piano from home, i've always done something to provide for myself {and eventually my family} and save a little on the side. 

i stopped teaching piano in july but planned to pick right back up here in new hampshire. turns out, it's been a lot more difficult to find students. i do have two lined up, but haven't started with either of them. so when an opportunity presented itself to work super part time as a recording secretary for a neighboring city, i jumped at the chance. i attend one meeting a week {sometimes less}, for an hour or two, audio record it for it to be placed on the city website and then come home to transcribe my notes for a few hours. it's been a great way to earn some extra money {to buy those mittens and coats with winter looming over our heads} and learn a few things about my city. so far i've worked on the recreation, pedestrian and bicyclist, and energy advisory committees.

since ryan and leah got a first day photo, i decided i get one too.

yay for work!
