The Plans for Summer 2010

School gets out sometime mid-June. I want to say June 11th maybe? But either way, sometime that is way to far in the future. Here's my dilemma. Job, or no job?

First off, last summer I offered to get a job, but then I was denied by my parents. Most people would say that my parents are crazy for not wanting me to have a job, but then again, I can see their reasoning. I am a pretty busy person, and when it comes down to it, unless I find an extremely flexible place of work, no one would want to hire me anyway.

Over the summer, I have the International Thespian Conference, and that will take up a week at the end of June. I have show choir choreography camp, and that will take up 4 days at the end of July. I will have Chapter Board meetings, and those take up random days throughout the summer, and then I will most likely have a minuscule vacation somewhere in there. Though that doesn't seem like a lot in the grand scheme of a summer, but it is enough to throw my schedule for a loop and in turn cause scheduling problems for my place of work.

On the other hand, I need money. So this is what I am thinking. My dad always has someone come in and do his filing (usually a college student), and because I will be a senior in high school, I should be pretty qualified. As far as the scheduling problems, well, he's my dad, so he has my schedule already! And as far as the "not letting me have a job," it is his place of work and I'd be working for him. What I think is pretty funny is the fact that my mom is my dad's secretary, and then if I filed for my dad, it would be almost the entire family working for my dad at one time. Seems like something you would only see in the movies.

My discretion, would my dad pay me less because I'm his son? Would he treat me like a true worker? I can foresee something to the effect of him not wanting to pay me as much money simply because I'm his son. I don't know why that would happen, but it is something I envision.

So those are my plans for work in the summer of 2010. I'm not quite sure what will come of it, but we shall see, and I'm sure there will be a blog post sometime about it in the near future.

What will you do during the summer?
