Education Job by Inmate #1

So far so good! I work today and tomorrow from 730 to 330. There are breaks and callouts so it breaks up the day. I have about 90 minutes for lunch and I get to go early at 11! I also have a cool Education lanyard. There are only about 25 of us total so it makes me feel somewhat proud. The job seems like it will be challenging a little - way more than wiping tables or rolling silverware. I think it's a good fit.

 

So in addition to my regular stuff I need to do.. I have been tasked with two HUGE projects. This is based on my boss saying I was hired cause I seemed extremely good at organizing.. LOL - you think? One is a complete reorganization and cataloguing of our resource center materials and the second is I get to create an ACE class. ACE classes are the extra credit classes people can take about either fun stuff like Modern Marvels (yes they use the video series from the History channel) or practical like finances.

 

The class I am creating has to do with reentering the job force. I did not pick the material, I was handed a packet and told to create a curriculum. I think that is pretty cool. Also being in the education department, I am eligible to teach an upcoming ACE class. At least my time will be way more interesting than rolling silverware or sitting around for hours at a time.

 

I do get paid something stupid like .12 per hour or .25 - not sure what my pay grade is so it will help with commissary a little for the next few months HOWEVER in June and July - the government takes $25 of whatever I make to start paying restitution. It's in my paperwork.
