Thinking outside the box
On a rare night off, my first in almost 2 full months I think, though I did go into Job #3 to cover them for an hour, I just spent some time updating MS Money, it's sooooo much easier when it's been done on a weekly basis, I didn't find myself groaning @ the thought of it and w/3-5 transactions, all accounts are in balance, WOOT! But the debt remains POUTS!
Anyhoo, as my time is drawing near on Job #3, I have been working behind the scenes on ways to replace the income. Some conventional, some not so much.
I have 3 places that have flexible evening times, meaning I can be home and in bed by 10:30 or so and work the days I was already working. If worse comes to worse, I can make Job #2 a Saturday PM Sunday AM job only and free up Mon to Fri as most jobs I was fairly interested had those days as requirements.
I have on interview next Saturday and started to fill out another app tonight, but need all my dates & history and stuff which I have to get tomorrow. Those are the conventional routes.
As for being creative, if I really had to count it, I have a Job #4 and a Job #5, albeit easier work and while I don't spend much time talking about them, the money I bring in is fairly steady but not guaranteed, the catch 22 is, I don't have time to focus on them as much as I used it. It's ironic, the month I took on the 2 part time jobs, my income from the other 2 jobs dropped considerably. Now the time of the year may also have something to do w/it, coming up on the holidays and all, but still, it felt good to have fairly steady checks coming in.
That alone is why I am keen on getting myself another Job #3, @ least for the shorterm.
The last tidbit is, I've had a few interesting offers as it relates to this site I need to mull over. Now if I had a 50k interesing offer, there'd be nothing to mull over @ all now would there...heh...
