My many little jobs !

I just completed a 3 month stint and got paid yesterday. This year has landed me many different jobs that has paid well. Basically i am a line dance instructor who teaches 3 classes a week. Every once in a while i conduct English courses for adults in the corporate world. This year's course was a long one that lasted 6 months. It was too long and grueling for me as i prefer shorter terms cuz they keep me on my feet with interest !! When i was midway thru this course i was asked to teach these young ladies some fitness class as well. They are obsessed with lean slender bodies and wanted to lose fats that they don't even have!!! Some of them wanted to learn line dance and some wanted hard core workouts. Finally the majority won , and i had to teach them aerobics with weight training as well. That was not difficult as i knew all the routines but the hard part was getting them lots of varieties. The distance i had travel was the part i hated most! It usually took me 30 min to get there on a good traffic day but coming back was always an hour's drive! But the money was good so i stuck to it for 6 months but finally considered it quite a hassle esp since it cuts into my Friday nights . So now i have my Friday nights again and ready to PARTYYYYY!
Another new job this year is the K&B Recognition Awards survey. I was asked by a friend who was offered this job but she didn't want to do it alone , so now we do it together. We are given questionnaires that are like 5 or 6 pages long , and we have to make appointments with the CEOs or Directors of several companies dealing with Kitchen and Bathroom products. They are big guns from big companies like TEKA and Rubine, etc. So it is a fun job too with its perks :) The money is good as well , and it has got me a bit more knowledgeable in that department. Special cooker hoods and appliances are now more meaningful to me !! This job is still on going till the end of the year when the Awards end.
The most interesting job this year is the one i just completed. And that's the dance training sessions i had to do with an engineering company that wanted their staff to perform during the annual dinner. It was very fun and i had a good time. But i have pics and videos to show for that , so i will make that another post in this blog.
