Government Money

Okay so my work study job? Not all that difficult. I work weekend college which––contrary to what you may think––does not happen every weekend. Weekend students meet every third weekend, and, unlike us lowly weekday readers, they get meals at Shimer. That's where I come in. Discussing three weeks worth of great books can work up quite an appetite.

But since technically I'm only reeeally working when a meal is nearing... there happens to be quite a bit of free time.

So. Let's review. Lot's of free time, but lots of hours. Only have to work every third weekend. So how did I end up with this job?

Yes, weekend college students just happen to need early mornings to cram in all those intelligent conversations.

Which means they need their coffee started even earlier than early morning.

And their breakfast set out.

In an aesthetically pleasing way of course.

Oh and they're going to need something on which to eat all that brain food. Roll some tables out? Make sure it's before people show up.

You might have to be a little particular about having six chairs at each table...
(all right, maybe that's just me)

And yeah. Those mornings? Saturday and Sunday mornings? I'm not sure if you're aware... but they follow Friday and Saturday nights. So yeah. That's why I have this job.
