Another job.. again..

When we were trying to get into a house I was determined to find another job no matter what it was. It ended up sucking and the house idea fell through. I quit the crappy job and stuck with this tight-wire act of a job. So here I am keeping my head above water paying bills.. praying they don't cut hours like they have in the past. I don't like having my fate in someone else's hands, especially the people at this job. If they, on a moment's notice, decide I'm getting 15 hours and so is Deb.. we're screwed. There is no question about it, we can't pay between $700 and $800 for rent plus other bills on 15 hours. In comes the other job. I've known this guy at work that does security named Willy. Nice spanish guy, I've known him for more than four years. I asked him a long time ago to get me a job application for his security place and I kinda forgot about it. A few days ago he brought it in and I filled it out and went down to hand it in. They're some decent people at that place and I've got the job. It's pretty much up to me how many hours I work and the jobs aren't the most glorious. One such job that I'm going to start out doing is patrolling the lot at a methadone clinic. I don't know much about these places except I think it's where heroin addicts get help by getting a substitute for heroin. I'm not sure how I feel about that or many other drug-related issues, but I'll take the job. At first I didn't like the idea of this weak white boy stuck in the north end of Springfield being the fake police to druggies. Then I was told there's three of us fake cops. :D Yeah.. I know.. same idea.. but at least I'm not alone. I'm thinking now I'll work the 5-6 hours from 6 am on for a while and if I like it I'm telling my current job that I just want 15 hours and I'll go full time at this one. That's exactly what I told them when I applied. I'll see how I like it first. Why jump in full time, cut hours at the first job, and possibly end up hating it? I'd have to go beg for more hours at the first place and look like an idiot. I keep thinking about how great it'd be to work 6-3 and come home 3 or 4 days of the week and be done. Granted the remaining days would be the hours at my current job, but to be done at 3 and call it a day and make decent money would be great. If I work until 3 now it's starting at 10 or 11 and not bringing home much. I'll like knowing we can pay rent without a problem. Life is looking up right now.. I'm out of things to write about.. until next time.. --------
