My security guard job on the weekends is really starting to irritate me. I would leave but the pay is good at $20/hr. I am a contracted security guard which means that I work for a security company that places me at a site to provide security. The site where I am assigned hasn’t really ever figured out how security works in their operations or what role they want it to do. Hence it’s more performative than anything. I hate job grey areas like this! It’s not good for my autistic mind which prefers more clarity.
I’m thinking of putting out the feelers for another job, maybe this one as a gate guard or an office building guard. I know I’ll take a cut in pay but the scope of duties will be clearer and simpler. This is perhaps something I would like at the moment. Admittedly, I’m torn because on one hand a devil you know…
I think I have to also start figuring out a budget because I’d like to save some money for a laptop for school. Ideally I’d like a MacBook Pro. That’s been on my mind as well. Well, to start with I’ve got to stop with the GrubHub shit I’m doing for myself. That’s just pissing money away. Denisse is right. I need to be managing my money better.
Here’s an idea! Practicing personal finance will help build necessary skills for running a business in the future. It’s not really a novel idea either. Just a matter of taking the time out to do it.
