2 jobs...

[soon2bMrsCage]

Hello everyone!! I haven't really posted a lot lately. I do log on every day just to see what exciting things are going on for everyone. I have been such a busy lady lately, it seems like there is not enough hours in the day. Well, I have been working at Smoothie King about 2 months an I was really loving it. Last week they cut my hours well I got a call from Starbucks. I went for the interview and got the job!! I have always wanted to be a barista at Starbucks so I am so happy. I decided to keep both jobs to see how things would work out. Needless to say it is just too much since I have a house and 3 kids to take care of too. DF has a demaniding full time job and he helps out as much as he can. So what do I do? I love both jobs!!!!

if you love them both equally (ie: in terms of what you do, who you work for and who you wrok with)---then i base it on which ever pays best...or who ever can garuntee you the hours (is the smoothie king going to keep cuting ur hours etc...)

[FFC]

Which one has the best benefits? (if any?). Think about what job will benefit you and your family better. If you need to, cut back to 2 days a week at Smoothie King and work as much as you can at Starbucks... just a thought.

I'm working two jobs again too. I'd say either stay with the one that guarantees the hours, or keep both, and work out a set schedule. With a set schedule, you can plan things around that. Good luck, let us know how it works out!

I agree, keep the one that pays the most/most hours! And good luck. :( Hopefully i'll be getting a second job this month..

That should be fun then. I like museums.

Ditto! i am applying for the out door part.. You dress in period costumes and do stuff like make butter =3

Neko, if you can handle all the physicality of being a costumed interpreter, those jobs really do rock.

Do you have to provide your own period garments? And can you eat the food you prepare, etc?


Whitewater (who does it for a hobby and loves it -- but what I love most is a teeshirt and air conditioning at the end of the day!!!)

[Nekochanpurr]

I am not sure.. I believe they provide the costume... Who knows who eats what though! i would hope we would get a taste.. LOL. I think it would be a load of fun. I think i could handle it.. :D i cosplay, thats sort of the same.. Heh. Right?

[soon2bMrsCage]

Thanks for all the great advice! I think I will end up keeping the job at Starbucks. Not only do i get FREE coffee-but the benefits are great and the pay is more. I will just try and stick it out til just right before the wedding. This extra money is coming in handy!!

[70707Bride]

I'm glad you made a decision!...I love extra money! Hehe.
