Not Glamorous Work

Summary

• Cameron is relieved when his camper is towed to Ethan's house, avoiding having to sleep in a grocery store parking lot, but he still needs to fix a flat tire and figure out a way to pay back Aunt Jeanne's cruise money.
• Cameron asks Ethan if he can get a job hired at the local Shop-Way, but Ethan tells him they can't afford any more staff.
• Instead, Ethan offers Cameron a chance to apply for a maintenance position that a friend of his has mentioned. Cameron fills out the application with a combination of exaggerations and outright lies.
• The next day Cameron goes to his interview for the maintenance position at an aquarium. The interviewer, Terry, realizes that Cameron has lied about his experiences, but decides to give him a chance because of Ethan's recommendation.
• Terry offers Cameron the maintenance job, which involves tasks like chopping bait and cleaning buckets. It pays $20 an hour for 20 hours a week.
• Cameron initially is disappointed at the wages, but Terry offers him more hours temporarily as a janitor in the evenings.
• While waiting for Ethan to pick him up, Cameron receives a call from John Hall from Brinks Development in response to his numerous messages. Cameron unsuccessfully attempts to arrange a meeting with Mr. Brinks.
• John Hall suggests that Cameron may be able to find Mr. Brinks at his summer home, though he refuses to give out the address. This leaves Cameron frustrated but determined to find the vacation mansion.
