Here we go again, I took another job.

i dont think its crazy as long as you can manage your time. with the economic crisis right now, everyone is thinking of having more than 1 job. as long as you think you can manage your time, not stressed and happy, go for it! :)

Well do you feel useful? Do you have enough time to live? do you enjoy your jobs? Answer all these questions yes and I'd say you have it pretty much under control.

[i]Hi Garden, you are tough! LOL! I guess once you love what you are doing, that is fine..I also love to have more than one job and that will help me fulfill our plans here..LOL! This time, I am not working yet and still enjoying my time as a full time wife and full time Mylotter! LOL![/i]

I had three part-time jobs for about a month. Then one by one I lost them and I am holding on to the last one. I work 12 hours for Blue Buffalo Pet Food by demonstating at PetSmart. I'm a guest vendor. I need a full time job and I'm trying to earn a few bucks here to try to get gas $ to look one day for a job or for a little food, whatever. I've have one month's of bills coming and half a month of income. So I have to hope and pray something comes up soon. Take care.

I think right now it's best to do what you can to earn money, if you are able to. Who knows where the economy is heading and how high the unemployment rate will climb. Best to save up some, or at least be able to keep up with the bills. I take care of my kids but have over the years picked up mystery shopping, telemarketing, and writing. Next I will have to go back to work... The almost non-existent raises my husband got in the last few years as the economy slowly headed south... well, we all feel it.

Sounds like your very busy most of the time with a lot of resposibilty. I only have one full time job although with the cost of living getting more and more expensive everyday I am wondering whether it wouldn't be beneficial for me to get a part time job as well...maybe bar staff or a receptionist in the evenings somewhere. Currently for the last two years I have worked fulltime as an administrator for a large shipping company in an oil refinery. The pay isn't that good but I do have a nice view over the water as our office is suspended on a jetty over the water so technically i'm working offshore. My jobs never boring and there's always new people to meet so I think this compensates suitably for the lack of salary...although more would be appreciated...hope my boss isn't using mylot LOL

As long as you aren't exhausting yourself every day, I say that is wonderful! My mom is 49 and looking for a new job that fits with her degree, and I can tell she isn't as focused as she was when she was working. She seems a little lost. On the other hand my dad (53) is sharp as a tack and more energetic because he is working. Neither one are old, but I think we all need to stay busy (of course not counting family time) even starting in our teen years. It wards off all kind of disease, not just the one that we all are warned about, which is dementia or something like that. And hey, I wish I could work right now. Heaven knows it would keep me more fit thatn I am now!

Well, besides my retirement, I have a 25 hour a week job doing "home health aide." Sounds kind of what you have added to your jobs. I've actually know the person I'm doing this helping for many years, or, as I tell people, I'm not nice enough to do it for strangers. I just hope I can do it for another 10 or so years or can get on disablity so I can draw Social Security.

Nope I don't think you're crazy GardenGerty. With the economic times as they are more and more people are taking on a second even third job just to make ends meet. I myself earn extra income by writing my articles, and am always trying to find new outlets of places to write for that I might earn more money from my articles. It's not just you...everyone is looking to make extra money.

I think I am crazy too. I gave up all jobs and want to make money by freelance writing alone. Sometimes I get projects, sometimes I don't. Some months, there is a salary, some months there isn't. Well, it is life, and we have to live the way we want to. I can afford this lifestyle because I don't have kids to support. :) No, I don't think you are crazy; I think you are leading a very interesting life. the lives of those who work nine to five in one particular office for years is not that interesting, though it is financially secure. Cheers and happy mylotting

Sounds like you love being busy! That's a good thing. And I'm happy things are working out for you. Right now, I'm thinking about getting a work at home customer service job. Or, maybe a part time job as tax preparer this upcoming season. I think a part time job is the ideal situation. Cause it gives you so much variety and change. Gotta love that! For me, that would mean more money at the house for stuff we need and want and also a fun activity outside the house.

Make sure you don't over do it!! I work from home doing market reserch on the phone. One of people who phone you when you are dishing your dinner up or trying to go out the door etc!!

wow your a worker girl! You are very driven to do the best that you can. And that is so awesome! You will reap your rewards! On Pay days! I hope that soon enough that you will make from one job that you make at all your jobs. And will not have to work so hard!

No, I don't think you are crazy, but I do think you are lucky!Here's the thing, I've been looking for a part time job for ages. I see notes in shop windows asking for staff, but when I go in, they don't want me because I don't have the experience (because we all know you should have experience of washing up in a restaurant!), or the right hours (I still have to pick up my kids, because there is no after school clubs here), or just because my face doesn't fit. I've applied to various employment agencies, and haven't been offered anything. I would love 3 part time jobs at the moment, because it is the only way I can see out of our debt problems. While the jobs are there - you go for it!

why would I think you are crazy for having so many p/t jobs? I actually think you are lucky in times like this you still earn and probably earn more than most people. A lot of people got laid off here, my husband is lucky able to keep his job otherwise we will not be able to keep the house. My small business is new and I am still paying off my loan. I have 5 yrs to do it but I prefer to pay it off as soon as I can. There is no p/t job for me anymore so all I can do is selling items online. Earnings from mylot is good to pay Ebay fee whenever I sell things there.

My, my, GG, you are a superwoman! I don't think you're crazy for doing what you're doing so long as you don't overwork yourself. I only wish that I was physically able to hold down even one job.

I too am a carer! It's a job I love but for me it's a full time occupation. I don't think I could cope with two other jobs as well. I'd never have time to look after my own house and family or have the free time I need to recharge my batteries! As long as you are happy doing whatever you do then you aren't crazy!!!!

No, you aren't crazy, you are just doing what ya gotta do! I work an online job, do surveys, etc also, and looking for another pt job (hopefully online) to keep up with expenses, etc. So many people have to work more to keep up these days! As long as you don't overdo it and can handle it, then whatever works for you, I say!

No I don't think you are crazy, you do what you have to do to survive, I wish in my small town that I could find something like those part time jobs you have. I will be out of a job soon and I am looking into getting 2 or more part time jobs to make ends meet. Congratulation, and I am sure you know when enough is enough for you.

i appreciate for ur workmanship...........keep it up yaar see ur very hardworking .and hope u can but take care of ur health also ................donot neglect that ................all the best for ur near future byeee
