pegasi Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I had been getting a fair amount of overtime at my job, but that has disappeared in the last month or so and will last through the beginning of next year. I had a former employer contact me, they'd been through an ownership change, had changed their business model a great deal, and wanted to see if I was available. We talked, and I explained that I couldn't afford to work for them full time, but I would be willing to work part time. Shocker to me ... they need my help so badly they're willing to give me building access to work whatever hours I can, when I can. Talk about in a bind! Oh well, good for me I guess, to be needed so badly. They want me to help overhaul their process so that they can be more productive... I plan on finagleing more money out of them for that too! Consulting fees, I guess one could call it. I guess if I have to work a second job, being that flexible is a big plus. I start the first week of Dec.Anyone else have interesting second-job stories? what goes around, comes around

Shotokan-kez Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Aww this is brilliant. Im not working at the moment cos im a student but holding one job down is hard enough, let alone two. It's brilliant that you can be so flexible, it's good all round. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
marie curie Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Yeh, I once worked as a research assistant during the week between my classes, and as a waitress on weekends... it was the suck but at least they didnt ever interfere with one another.

bushido_man96 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 One job is plenty for me right now. Wait, does being a parent count??? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
NightOwl Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Perhaps, but a job sort of implies you getting paid to do it...maybe parenting is more like a really, really, demanding hobby? Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt

It definitely involves a passion. And pacience. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Ahazmaksya Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I did briefly, but it is pretty hard - no time for hobbies and exhausting
karatekid1975 Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 I worked two jobs. It was horrible on my body. I worked in a machine shop (like I do now) with a part time job at a gas station. The first job took it (energy) right out of me, then I worked at night .... eeeekkkk. One job is plenty for me. Laurie F
