From not enough jobs to too many jobs

Tweet

I recently spent several months looking for a full time job after my employer shut down our office. In October, I took a part-time retail job because I could not find any full time job. I could only get 8-12 hours a week there, despite the holiday season, because they don't let their part time people work much more than that. (They just hire more people). In January, I gave up on finding full-time work, and went back to a previous "part-time" night job that has open-ended hours, for lack of a better term, which means, we work until we are done. This means we could start any time after 5 or 6 pm and could work until 4 a.m. or even later. Obviously, this is not good on the days I have to work at the store at 9 a.m., but it is somewhat doable, since usually I only work there a few hours and can then go home. Last week, I finally started a job that is actually in my field, but guess what...of course it is only part-time. I actually need to be awake and alert for this one, so clearly some kind of change needs to be made here. I have days where I am scheduled to work until god-knows-when the night before, 9a.m. -12:30 at the store, 1-6 at the new job, and then work the night job until whenever again! Last night, driving home over an hour from the night job at 3 a.m. (locations vary every day/night at that job)...my decision suddenly became easier! Going back to being a 2-job girl shortly...
