Mike's Working for the Man

Mike went out and got himself a job. Not that he wasn't working - he spends hours and hours and hours putting together his internet radio show. However, there isn't a lot of income from that endeavor. So he's found a job that he believes will allow him to continue his ministry and bring in some money, too.

Mike is now (drumroll, please!) a concessions supervisor at Minute Maid Park for the Astros games! Cool, huh? So he only works when the Astros are in town, although his work days are around 10 hours long. Starting Monday, he'll do seven ten-hour-days in a row. Then he's off for eleven days. He'll have to be more organized so that he can get ahead on the show when he has days off from the ballpark, but he's confident. (Of course, it's his show, so if one's a couple of days late, it isn't the end of the world.)

No, he's not carrying trays of peanuts and cotton candy; his job is to supervise several of the concession stands, keeping up inventory and doing cash drops and managing the workers' breaks and things. Not a lot of excitement, but he certainly keeps busy, and he gets to be at the ballpark. He's very happy about that. After baseball season, who knows? Maybe he'll go to Reliant Stadium for the Texans games or the Toyota Center for the Rockets. A world of options!
