Today I began my first day of the job I am way over qualified for. I really wasn't an escort today though, I was mostly a door attendant for the Charlton West entrance. My job entalied helping people in and out of their cars into/from wheel chairs and to give directions. It was really low stress and this might be the easiest $11/hour I'll ever make. The people I work with are really nice and fun. A lot of shit is just given to each other in fun.
I work with a kid named Caleb who is a year younger than me. He is also a history teaching major but he is going into his 5th year of school to finish off next spring. He is the only one so far I've met around my age and it's funny how much we have in common; he's cool shit. I probably haven't given him a good first outlook on the job market but he says he wants to move away, so that will make him getting a job ten times easier.
It is fun going around downtown during the week work because it is mass chaos with all the doctors and patients in a mad rush all day. Also seeing a lot of the architecture in the buildings and the art inside has given me a new apprecation for Rochester. I never thought I'd say it but actually taking time to look at downtown has made me realized there is a lot of beauty there. Growing up in this town has made me neutral to it until now. Making me see the art has made me want to teach again because I know a lot of the significance going on with why certain parts were constructed and it wanted me to explain the meaning and that signficance to people and students so they can appreciate it better.
It is also intimdating being around all these doctors and what not. On the bus ride downtown, you could tell who were the ones getting paid big bucks to do some extrodinary things for people. Walking around the hospitals though has also given me the feeling that they believe they are a little pompus. But it might be more of because they are in a rush I hope.
A plus working there is there are a lot of cute nurses around!
