I'm starting to think about getting a part time job. We're getting dangerously close to not being able to maintain our current lifestyle, and when John says "I'm thinking I could probably live without cable TV", I know I've got to do something, because damn if we're going to go without cable!
The problem is, I don't want a real job. I don't want a job that I have to think about all the time. I don't want something where the work piles up and waits for me if I'm out sick. I don't want a "career path" or "opportunity for advancement". I just want to go in a couple days a week, work, collect my paycheck and go home. I used to do temp work. Administrative stuff like answering phones, filing, data entry, etc. when I was a teenager. That may be a good option for me. No commitments, no stress, just go in, get the job done and leave. I could even get a job at one of the retail stores in town. Almost everyone is hiring for the holidays right now, maybe I could get something on the weekends.
Maybe next week I'll start exploring some options. See what I can do to earn a few extra bucks and still be home the majority of my time with Alex.
