I got a job working at the Pepsi 400 Nascar race. The company called and offered $750 to work at the race for 1 day. Sure! I was a little skeptical though, so I called back later that day to confirm the date and the pay rate. $750. Good. A few days later I was scheduled to go to a meeting at the track to find out exactly what I would be doing at the race. I was still skeptical so I called again. $750 for one day working at a Nascar race? Yes. That's $750 not $7.50 per hour right? Oh, wait. It IS $7.50 per hour. That's what I was afraid of. Never mind.

Instead of working at the race, Emily and I spent the 4th of July weekend at the beach. It was great. Lounging around and reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People". However, over the course of reading the book, I found out that everything I thought I was doing right, I was actually doing wrong. It has really changed my outlook on how to speak to and deal with other people.

In other news, Emily has been enjoying her job. Although she is nervous about the end of training and having to do the job on her own. My class is over though, so I have had more time to work on DVD projects and the like.

I have been keeping up with my jogging schedule. As I wrote about before, my usual habit is to go jogging once every 6 months or so, and tell myself that I will do it regularly from now on. This time I have actually followed through on my promise!
