Well, that was fast...

So my lack of posting was due to an opportunity I was given to work a 5-6 week project which involved the processing of payments of the Cash for Clunkers rebate checks to car dealerships.

Over 580,000 cars were sold in the 6 weeks Cash for Clunkers was active, each giving a $3500 or $4500 rebate for their old school beat up 18mpg or less vehicles for a chance to drive away in a newer, more fuel efficient automobile.

I started on the 4th of September, working from 11pm to 7am each and every night/morning only to come home and sleep for an hour - get the kids to school, sleep another 3-4 hours, and spend the rest of the day in a hungover stupor, waiting for the time for me to leave again.

Much like government jobs, I sat there without a way to work - no computer - no login - no anything.

1 day. 2 days. 3 days. 4. Still. Just sitting there, watching movies on my Creative Zen MP3 player (I'll pimp out the brand - I love it) and waiting for the time to leave.

5 days. 6 days. 7 days. Wait.. what's this? A login? I can work?! HOORAY!

I process 25 rebate checks before my shift ends.

Day 7. I process about 20 rebate checks before heading out at 4am to get some sleep before church at 9am.

Day 8. Well...

At 8:30pm, while spending some family time together, I get a call from some random area code.

"Thank you for your participation in assisting the Cash for Clunkers program. Due to your diligence, our processing is complete. Please submit your time sheets for payment on Friday."

Fastest 5-6 week project ever! Out of 580,000 rebates, I've processed about 45 and sat around in a cubicle for a week.

Nice.

But, I'm unemployed again. Well, I'm a stay at home dad. For now, we're trying the one income thing so I can take care of the kids before and after school and I can officially start my gym stuff.

Heather is helping the wifey and I get on a program for eating and exercise to build our metabolism, and the gym awaits Monday.

I'll be doing podcasts soon as well, which excites me.

As for the comedy writing, I've got three one man shows up my sleeve which split three different parts of my life. One of which I'm super excited about.

More later!
Reece's Peace!
