While I’d much prefer to stay home all the time, the way I used to, the fact is that I’ve learned a lot working in the fast food industry. I’m certified for ServSafe, which is a course on food safety, and can take that with me to any other restaurant job. It comes in handy here at home, too.

I’ve also learned some rather neat cooking tips for a variety of foods, so that helps me at home.

While my job is sometimes very hard on me, there are times when it’s also pretty interesting. Being a manager means I have charge of the safe and the money, and sometimes there are some really neat coins in the drawers. For instance, the other day, there were two silver dollars but they weren’t the newer, small ones. They were the older large ones with Eisenhower on them. Naturally, I bought them for face value.

At some point, I really need to check with a rare coin dealer like Monaco Rare Coin to see if any of the coins I’ve purchased have more than face value on them. I’ve always kept odd coins in a little box, and called them my “funny money”. Not that I’m heavily into numismatics, but it is interesting to read about coins and look them up. It actually might be worth my while to look into this more deeply. Who knows? I might have something a real collector would be interested in.

I don’t think it would be in my best interest to go blindly online to just any old coin dealer with these coins. When I do try to see if they have value, I’ll be wanting to use a company with great resources and plenty of experience in the field.
