Outside of MyLot, what do you guys do? I'm just curious :) Currently, I am working three jobs (four if you count being a full time University student). I work at a lotion store, a shoe store and at a fast food restaurant that is open 24 hours. I work the late night shifts. (I'm an insomniac! It really stinks!) And I also do work for this one guy that's sort of an odd job, so I don't know if I would count that... haha.
But enough! I babble too much. What about you? Do you have a job outside the internet? Students are included!~ :)

Yes I have a job outside of myLot. I work as an accountant at a bank here in the Philippines. It's my first job after graduation so I am fairly new. I'll have my 1st anniversary as a banker on December so I'm quite excited.

Thanks! I love math because I don't have to memorize anything, all I have to do is compute and I'm all done :D

Well im working as well in one of the relateve of my husband. Sometimes, im doing work in the field and sometimes, im just in the office. I only have one full time job, 9-5 every weekdays and i have rest day during fridays-sundays but if its really needed, i have to work even on fridays. Good thing that you've got so many jobs, i wonder how you could manage to work for all of them especially being a student. Stay as hardworking as you are and more power! have a nice Sunday!

I really would LOVE a 9-5 job. That sounds so ideal to me right now, haha. And it's so nice that you have weekends off :) You sound like you probably have a great job!

I unfortunately work at a fast food restaurant in the drive thru window. Ugggg... I also am a mother that's a full time job in and of itself. I also make textures for second life, and am going to start hopefully soon doing contract work. In January I will also be a grandmother so that's going to add to my job list. So the lot is one I really enjoy on top of everything else I do. I dont have a lot of time to come on here, but when I do I enjoy it.

Sorry it took a bit to get back been working too much the last few days. I found a couple of sites that I can do some work like customer service and data entry things like that. I havent bid on any jobs just simply because on my current work schedule this week its been a nightmare. Today I ended up working from 11am till 11pm. I was only supposed to work till 6 lol. Hopefully my schedule will even out enough for me to be able to bid on some jobs soon.

When you said you were a vault keeper, for some reason that reminded me of Harry Potter! :) Haha. Oh, and why are you resigning? Do you not like the job anymore?
I don't really have much time for myself, honestly. But I like my work and I like the people I work with and I work so much to save for travel. So I guess you can say when I travel is when I have time to myself :)

I don't have a job and have been looking, but no one is hiring in my town which sucks. I am going to school though, so going to school and earning a bit on the internet is the only jobs I have. Hopefully soon I'll get a job.

Well, if you're a student then that's a job in and of itself! And I agree with the no one hiring thing- it is such a pain. The unemployment rate is ridiculous. I hope they get this fixed soon and save a lot of people some unneeded stress :(

I work in a restaurant. It isn't the best job in the world, but I manage to survive. I also do odd jobs on the side doing things like cutting grass, pressure washing, light construction, and other things.

Actually, the restaurant I work in does not have waiters/waitresses. I work for a company called ZAXBY'S. I am a Cashier Crew Leader. My position is one level under management. I take orders, run the cash registers, and make sure everything that needs to get done is taken care of. It is also my job to lead the other cashiers, and to help them with any problems or questions they may have. I am also responsible for training all cashiers that are hired. It is not the best job in the world, but I manage to survive.

I was going to start college september gone and i was going to do computer science, one of my choice was to be a computer engineer. But then when the lecturers saw my very high grades, they advice me to do something better with my life. So i am going to choose my second choice now which is to be a surgeon. But i need to do another examinations for that, so i will be preparing for those exams. So it would be in the next 2 years instead before i actually go to college. I am very sad i turn down my acceptance because i really wanted to experience college life.

In present I have no any job. I am unemployed. So I feel depressed. But I always work on Mylot. I always try to find a better job and I hope soon I will find a job. So now I am working on mylot and I think it is a good way for me to utilize my valuable time. I never think it is bad to work on this site. I think it is a good site because we can learn many things on this site.

I completely agree! I love MyLot! It's really fun to put your two cents in and to give opinions and so on :) I hope that you will find a good job soon though. I know that unemployment is really beating people up, but don't be depressed over it! I hope that you stay happy, no matter what :)

I work as a call center trainer, music instrument instructor and art teacher, got lots of jobs but I still feel not contented in what I do. If one day is composed of 48 hours, I'll spent 40hours work just to maximize my time and earn more money.

Haha, I feel you there! All I do is work or school but it is worth it, in the end. I like to travel so that's why I work so many jobs. It gives me more oppurtunities :)

Are you looking for work or just doing the student thing? Honestly, the student thing might be better! It's so hard to get straight A's and work and grades are so much more important, I think!

I know, the employment rate is just abismal lately. To be honest, my sister got me the two day jobs I am working. Have you tried looking for night shifts? You would be surprised how eager they are to hire for night time work, because that's when people want to sleep.

I work at a housing agency as an Administrative Assistant. My boss is Cuban and I learn a bit of Spanish from him. I enjoy going to work as my colleagues are fun to work with and we have all sorts of topical discussions at times.

I am a student, and I did not want to do too much to take away from my school work so I baby sit, clean houses, little every other week jobs. Things that will not take up too much of my time. Lately it has not quite been cutting it though. So i'm still not sure if I can just get through this struggle or if I need to get my old job back, at maggie moos. I loved working THERE, I just did not love working and i had personal reasons I needed to quit. I guess i will just have to see how it will work out.

Oh, like little odd jobs and such. I love working those! A lot of the women I work with have babies so I am trying to baby sit them on my days off if I can. I love babysitting :) Cleaning houses is interesting! I've never done that before :)

Yeah, and even if you have kids in the near future you might not necessarily have to get a job. I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom :)

Hi,
How do you manage so many jobs? I do have a full time job and am so tired after coming home. Sometimes I just drop into my bed and dont do anything. Sometimes I dont even want to eat anything because i am tired and only want to go off to sleep. Please give me some tips on how to manager.
I try to do some work daily on the net but it is not sufficient and earn a very very little amount. I would like to work more and earn some good money from internet.

I don't get tired very easily. Actually, it's very rare I get tired. Normally, I can go weeks with hardly any sleep, but eventually I do crash. I crash for about two days and then it's up and at 'em again! Haha. I mean, if I weren't an insomniac, I don't know if I could handle the night shifts, to be honest.
The only tips I can think of is to force yourself to keep going. No matter how tired you are, just force it. If you smile, you will start to feel happy- it's proven. And if you're feeling happy, then you'll probably feel more awake too. Start telling yourself you're not tired, you can get these things done, etc. Hope that helps!

Hi julia.
I am currently working in a government bank. I envy you. You have plenty of jobs. I also like to have another job so that i can earned additional income. That's the reason i tried some internet jobs during my free time. I can't imagined you having three jobs then at the same time a full time student. How did you do it. How many hours of sleep did you get daily or shall i ask you if you're sleeping at all.

Oh, that sounds fun. I've never sold furniture before. Do you work in a company like Haverty's or something or are you freelance?
