Best thing ever

talyenMy dad always said that finding a job you loved was the best thing ever. I have been volunteering to pull weeds at Old House Gardens, and I've been volunteering to clean cat carriers and litter pans at the Huron Valley Humane Society since the beginning of September. I love doing these things, and obviously would do them for free.
Starting last Thursday, I am being paid to "pull bulbs" at Old House Gardens, which consists of bagging the bulbs for each order so they are ready to ship. There are other duties as assigned, which include helping with the gardening, counting bulbs that come from the growers, and moving crates of (you guessed it!) bulbs. I even got to punch holes in some labels and sort things into order, which made my OCD very happy.
I am still not really believing that they will pay me to do all this. I would totally do this for free.
It's seasonal work, so it's only for a few weeks, but if I'm good at it, there's more work in the spring. And maybe I can use it to get seasonal work for the summer somewhere pulling weeds somewhere, if they don't want to pay me. As long as I can make enough to get the kids into camp, but not so much I lose insurance, I would do this all the time, and still say, "Wow, I can't believe they pay me to pull weeds and plant things!"
