I've waited tables for five years as a second job, and pretty much haven't had any real weekends off not used for travel during that time. So when I do have a weekend off, I'm just amazed at what they feel like. I feel so caught up on nearly everything - the house is clean, the lesson plans are wrote, the handouts created, the grad school work started (a little, still got tons to do here). I had all of Friday off (though I had surgery) and all of Saturday off. Amazing. I even went to the movies and worked out twice.
It makes me want to quit the 2nd job. But I also did a lot of billpaying this weekend, and, of course, that just makes me want to keep it, until I'm totally out of debt (except for student loans). I'm not nearly there yet.
Head's a little sore, and I am heading in to wait tables tonight. But I'm feeling good otherwise.

"the lesson plans are wrote"??
Aren't you an ENGLISH teacher?

I was just testing you. :)
That sounded really wrong when I written it, but was too rushed to figure it out.
Whenever you talk about your second job it seems like you make very little money there. If you weren't working there you'd have more time for grading and wouldn't have to stay at school until 7pm every night.
I make pretty good money there. I usually don't talk about the great shifts because it seems like it's bragging. But, last night, I made $86 in five hours. That was below average for a Sunday night.
I don't think not working the second job would affect my grading any. I don't usually stay at school until 7pm anyway - just Mondays and Thursdays - but many of my colleagues do as well. I don't usually do much grading at home, so the hours I work at the second job wouldn't be hours I spend grading, necessarily.
And, let me tell you, I am broke. So broke that it makes my head spin to think about it too much.
