Job #3

Ok, I've been offline for about 2 weeks b/c...I GOT ANOTHER JOB...#3 that is. It's been a process to say the least.

Long story short, as I was exiting previous job#3, I was already putting my feelers out and had a few nibbles. A nibble turned into a bite and by the week I picked up my final paycheck from them, I got and accepted the offer. Took about another week to get all my paperwork in and bam...I'm done.

I started training this week and have another week, then a soft start then I start for real.

On the upside, it pays more per hour and I pretty much work the same amount of hours, 20 per week. It's a set schedule, 6:30-10:30 5 nights a week. I'll be working from W-S, my "weekend" off will be M & T. The downside is, I have to stick with the schedule for 60 or 90 days, before I can change it I think and be in the position for 6 mos before I can apply for something else.

Other than that, I have little free time again, what else is new. Job #2 (the retail gig) has DRASTICALLY cut hours, which sucks. Truthfully I was a bit burnt out so the downtime in February came in handy, but to do what I need to do, I must net @ least $500/mo from the part time gigs, so I need job #2 to give me @ least 10 hours a week, a scant 2 shifts, but they are chopping hours so bad, last saturday I was scheduled to come in for 3 hours. 3. I prefer 5, I can tolerate 4, but 3 hours means aprox $20 and accounting for gas and the stress of closing the store, being one of 3 people when we really need 10, it wasn't worth it, so I asked them to just take me off. then this week I had to take off, zero hours, b/c I'm training towards the end of the week.

I changed my schedule w/them to work Sa & Sun till 2pm and T & W nights. When training is over, I'll be able to work till 4-5pm on the weekends and M & T nights. I'll see how it goes.

I have much to update w/my debt, been making steady progress in getting things paid off. I had to incur some expenses, like w/the new job, I really need a new computer. I've been wanting one for a long time, but couldn't justify the expense. I went ahead and ordered one and will use a portion of the check from job #3 to pay it off. I have a year of 0% interest, so that should work out fine.

More later...
