August got off to a rough start for me. I’m a seasonal employee at an election board and the primary election was on August 4th. Everyone works from 5 am to 7 pm on elections days. I ended up working until midnight and spent the week tired and out of it. Luckily, I only had one week left on the job before I got a break. If I end up working there for the November election, I won’t stay late. It wasn’t worth it. My mindset was that I could make some extra money to put towards school, but after taxes, there’s wasn’t much leftover. Other than that hiccup in the being of the month, August wasn’t too bad.
