I have two jobs acstually it feels like I have three jobs. I work as a security guard at nbc (new york) and I work online. So as you can imagine I'm a very busy person. Time manageability is what I lack. I't seems like 24 hours in a day is not enough. Do you feel the same way? Do you feel like you dont have enough time? I deffinately think time goes way to fast that is when your off. When your at work and you want time to go fast it drags and drags. I work at Rockafella center new york you know where the tree is. I work for nbc which owns floors at 30 Rockafella. What I mean when I said It feels like I have three jobs. Is that i do my regular shift which is 7 to 3 and I also do extra shifts either on another post or as a fireguard. Then I go home and do work online. Yeah I'm that busy. Now a days you deffinately need multiple sources of money to pay bills. So you do what you have to do. I'm interested on knowing do you have more then one job and if so how does it mingle with your social life.

Last time I was a full timer at an office as general clerk. I was treated badly by my boss and colleagues because I have no experience. After I know what I need to do at the office, I finally get bored and exhausted. When I came back home, my hobby is to surf the internet and I got to know online jobs then. I became very interested and I risk my career as a clerk to join full time at home but I earn so little. I did not manage to survive a long time, because of that I come out to work offline again and again but not to regular job anymore, I opt for flexible job instead. Now I work at a market research company as a part time telephone interviewer and earn well enough to feed myself and buy other necessary things for my daily usage. I am going to do this for the rest of my life as part timer because it feels so good. I now work 2 jobs at a time, whereby I work every one month and break gap one month. In the gap which I don't work for that month, I do online work. I doesn't earn much at the moment for online, but I am trying to spend more time for it. So I am a workaholic in a sense too.

yeah doing a job you hate can be very anoring. I mean your at work for at least 8 hours a day. Thats a lot taking out of your day. So If you hate what you do you are wasting these eight hours of your life. So Iam happy to hear that the partime work is working for you. I hope in the future you earn more online.

I work full time managing a call center during the week. On Saturday I work 12 hours as a Concierge at a retirement Center (very long day). I also work online. I know exactly what you are talking about. We do what we do to pay the bills. Social life? What is that?

Wow you are busy. I diffinately know what you are talking about we get caught up in working and trying to pay the bills we forget about our social life. What I've learn to do is give importance to every aspect of my life. Because it is important because every aspect of your life makes you who you are. So try to take time off for your social life. Because we all will die someday and paying all the bills won't look as appealing. So enjoy your life have a social life you don't want to live your life in regret.

hi fransmonlot,
I can say that I am a woman whose life just turn around on my work and with my studies. My plan as of now is to invest my money in building a house where others can rent. I want to do that so I can give something for my family before I get married someday.Because of that, I am thinking that next year I will really work harder to have more money so the house for rent that I am thinking will be materialized. I am teaching now and I am thinking of being active again in online jobs to earn additional income.

Well that sounds like a good idea. Building a house to rent can be quite rewarding. Both financially and give you a sense of pride that you did this. Yeah working online can be quite rewarding many won't get you rich but can give you an extra income to live on. Thanx for sharing your life.

It's good that you enjoy your work. if you enjoy your work its not really work it's a way of life. But I feel you need to have fun and do things outside of work. Life is short so make everything count. Thanx for sharing your life.

Yes it is very difficult. Before I seek online work, my job is already take 12 hours a day. Now, I take my online job. It is more difficult to spare time. But since I make it easy, I still enjoy it. However, I need to manage the time more wise. I am afraid my wife angry to me :D.
Now, I do some of my online job during lunch time and before go to my main job and right before going to bed. Not much but struggling to be more efficient.

12 hours is already alot so I can imagine with the online work you have little time to yourself. I have a boyfreind so its hard to make time for him too. but you have to make time for your life partner you dont want to upset your wife :-n.
