HMNS 1

So day one was ok. From morning till noon we took a tour of the museum, but not just any tour, it was more like the Behind the Scenes Tour.  Who know that there is a underground level where all the action takes place. The museum ha numerous hidden doorway the lead to hidden room. See that beam that has some kinda promotional poster, go behind it touch the right spot and it reveals a flight of stairs.  I think my favorite part is level 7, the roof top of the museum. There is a small green house there, they grow all plants that you see in the building. You can see the Houston skyline. The not so good part of the tour, when touring the Butterfly Center, there were live bugs in captivity...the had the worlds largest f*ucking spider, the Goliath Bird eater Tarantula!!!! Shit that nasty thing was huge! 1 foot leg span! No sir, not me. 

SO what will I be doing there. Depends, I will work for Visitor Services, so pretty much every where. Ticket taker at the exhibit halls, selling tickets at the box office, monitoring the butterfly center so the kids are killing the bugs, working the I-Max and planetarium, or sitting at the help desks. The other half of the day was just a presentation of the museum and history, and meeting different people in different departments. Tomorrow we have training all day in some departments we might be placed in. 

I get free tickets every month 2 of them, and they never expire! The mixers, well we get to dress up for that. Then next one is on Halloween Night and its from 8 till midnight, come in your best costume. Some people get married in the butterfly center, so after we close we come back dressed up and attend the weddings, birthdays, Bar Mitzvah, and other parties. 

So that was today in a nut shell.  Im kinda tired.

Rain Clouds on the Horizon

So, I got the job at Jackson Middle School. 7am - 4pm. I thought, well I'll just have to take night classes. I went to search the class schedule at UHD's site. Shit. All my major classes start in the afternoon. And theres only one of each, not like other classes wheres there 19 Intro to whatever. What am I gonna do. I didn't sleep well all weekend. I was pretty bummed out. My family was all excited and all, especially my mom. Now I have to tell them I can't take it.

When to church on Sunday morning to ask God or Jesus...one of them had to be there, its church. Anyways I asked for a sign on what to do.

Today at lunch my boss from my last job called me, he wanted to know if I was coming back next year. I told him whats going on, and that I'm am leaning on more of a yes to C.S. I really liked working with the people there, but I know this year these cool people won't be back, and I definitely get stuck with the freaks. I would like to join again, under one condition, it can't be back at Paul Revere. The reason...its too damn far!!! Thats the only reason.

But if I do go back I'll be making $13.50, a dollar more. Plus and extra day cause now all campuses will have program on Fridays.

I donno, I saw a posting in the Admission's department here at school.

We'll see.

Class for now.

New Horizon

During my 2 hour class of defining what is "Just", I was looking for a job on the net. I was on HoustonISD.org and I found a few. One was a middle school 5 minutes away. I applied for it, and 5 minutes I got a voice mail from the principal of Jackson Middle School. She wants me to come in at 1 and talk to me. I am both excited and fraught. You see Jackson MS wasn't always the best MS. When I was in middle school...I went to a different one, Jackson was one of the worse MS at that time. You had students who should of been in 10th grade at that school, fights major fights with knifes, and drive-bys. I know it has changed, cause the hood was a scary place when I was a child. It has now gotten better...thanks to the gays. If there is ever one good thing about the gays, it's their willingness to preserve objects...like an historic neighborhood in Houston...Eastwood.

Well we'll see what happens...man I gotta update my resume and get my clothes ready!!!
