I now have 2 jobs and sometimes it is really rough. I love both my jobs but days like today when I worked 1 until midnight and came to the other one at 7am are a struggle. I am so tired and it is hard to focus. I need a few more hours sleep and I just feel like I am gonna fall asleep standing here if I don't keep busy and keep moving. Insomnia and a turn around like this are just not a good combination. I also missed breakfast and the low blood sugar is not helping matters either. I am eating mint candies and mainlining caffeine just to stay awake and alert right now, as well as to keep my stomach calm. I am quite glad to have found this hotel job its just hard having 2 of them, stressful and tiring. Phew!

You work so hard, stay healthy there. You can't do all those work if you are having a health issue

I work my 2 jobs with a laundry list of health issues, I am just trying to make sure I don't get covid, flu or anything like that. I have chronic pain and work with that, asthma as well. Its hard to stay functional with the kinds of things I have but adding a cold, flu, stomach bug or any of that would be disastrous really everything I already have would be worse. I am trying to be careful and stay as healthy as it is possible for me to be with my chronic stuff.

I had two teaching jobs at two different schools here in Jerusalem. I had a hour to get from one to the other. I got fired from one, when the Vice President came to town and the police blocked all the traffic because of security reasons. So now I work more jobs, of different websites but I don't have a commute because I am working from home. Travel time is a big problem.

Lucky for me my jobs aren't far from each other or from my home. I don't drive and if they were far there's no way I could do 2.
