Just wondering how many fools like me out there are working more than one job.
When I was saving to buy my house I took a second job. After the purchase and getting a bit of money back into the savings, I was about to quit the second job. Then my wife and I found out we were expecting, so I kept the job. In March it'll be the start of my 6th straight year of 60+ hour weeks!

I'm taking annual leave in March to work somewhere else. Should be alright though, I'll earn 3 times what I normally do, plus get annual leave loading.

Nah, not now. Thankfully only one job for me. For awhile I did work two jobs. First was 10am to 2pm, then race home, shower, change, speed to get to the second job for 2.30 start.
The second job went for between 5 to 8 hours per night. Finally came to my senses and gave the first job the almighty flick after many months! |

I'd love a 2nd job but my first job has left such an impression on me that i usually come to my senses & live on whatever earnings i get from the one job i do have. best leave the others to someone who doesn't have a job.
