Here we go again

Michael is back on the hunt for a job. It seems like one of us is always looking. He currently is working 2 jobs. His first job starts at 6:00 am in Woods Cross (40 minute+ commute). He's on the phones the entire day talking to people about how to repair their credit. It is commission based so he feels a lot of pressure and it's not something that he enjoys. He hears a lot of people talk about their extreme financial struggles and it's pretty hard on him to listen to that and then try to talk them into a service that is going to cost them more money. He gets off work at 2:00 and heads home (again, another 40 minute+ commute). He takes about an hour to decompress and then at 4:00 he starts his second job, again completely on the phones, placing orders with people to have produce delivered to their home. This job fortunately is out of our home, but it still takes him away from doing family things. At 7:00 he's finally free and is ready for bed a few hours later. That makes for a VERY long day for him. He has a lot of really good skills and we are hoping he'll find something that he enjoys doing and that will provide for the family- without having to work 12 hour days and drive clear across town. He has his first interview today and we are both very anxious. We want so badly for him to find something that's a better fit. We'll keep you posted!
