Another day, another dollar...

So my current job is not my career. For new readers, I have been a golf pro since I was 19. You can do the math, I'm over thinking about how old I am. Anyways, living in Colorado, we have 6 months of summer and 6 months of winter. Actually, it's about 2 months summer (June and July), 6 months of toss up weather (April, May, August, September, October and November, I've seen it snow in each of these months) 2 months of bitter cold (January and February) and 2 months of seemingly fluffy powder and interstate closures (December and March). Either way, 6 months of golf season altogether. So, during the "winter", us locals find a winter job. Most locals moved here for the winter to play in the snow and stay here for the summer, because all things considered...it's fabulous! Ok, I have gotten off track, where was I...Oh anyways, due to the financial condition of the golf club I had worked for for 4 years, my director of golf called me in February and asked me to come in for a meeting. Sweet, I thought, I'm gonna find out my starting dates. Turns out he called me in to let me know they were "opening up" our positions and interviewing other people >( ! HUH??? you ask?? His exact words were "we want to have the best people for the least amount of money". Go ahead a shake your head, scream "That's bullshit!", whatever your normal reaction would be....thanks! This guy had hired me and now he's asking me to RE-INTERVIEW FOR MY JOB??!! Needless to say, I didn't. Because you see, I still had my winter job, in which I made the same amount of money, worked less hours and it was available for the summer! I'm not an idiot...and let me tell you, my resignation letter was fun to write!

Soooooo, I said all that to say this, although I have a different job currently, I am still a golf professional. My current job is as a shop girl/flower processor/delivery person at a cute little flower shop in one of the upper class villages. My work hours are 10am to 6pm five days a week (love it!), my boss is fantastic, I've met alot of really cool floral designers and...I'm happy when I go to work! Go figure! I'll take this golf season off and see where I go from here...

What's interesting is that as I went back and read this post, this is not was not what I was going to write at all. I was gonna vent on how when I was hired for the flower shop job, I wasn't supposed to do deliveries and now that is one of the main things I do. But, turns out, I don't have much to bitch about...hmmm :)
