Jeff started a new job today. He's working for a catering company. Today they have a big wedding in Bloomington. He helps put the food, tables, and warmers in the van. Once they get to the reception hall, he helps unload the van. He sets up tables and such for the food to be set up on. He buses tables and does dishes. Then they load up the van again, head back to town, and unload the van once more. He said he could have a 14-hour day today.Last night, in preparation for the job, he had to get black pants and a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt. He and his friend who also started work today, went to get their 'uniforms' together. Jeff was surprised to pay $40 for those two items plus black socks. I'm like, you spend twice that on a pair of jeans! But it's different when he's paying the tab. Then again, I'm not usually the one to spend that on his jeans; he does. So, I'm not sure why he was so surprised. Nevertheless, it's good to see him learn the value of a dollar.
I wasn't sure if Jeff should even start work today. He still hasn't passed his kidney stone. He hasn't said much about it in the last 24 hours. But when it decides to move, it will definitely cause him pain. Not to mention, he has a cold. He's been complaining about a sore throat and congestion. I hope he makes it through the day okay.
