Some of you may remember that I had to take on a second job. It's a graveyard shift at a gas station. My day job boss is trying to get me reclassified so I will make more money and get to stay in my office. I am in a pool to get a higher position at the college, but because of the budget crunch (don't get me started), hiring is at a stand still. I went through all the loops and now we have this freeze. My obvious plan was to get more money so I could quit my night job.
The good news is that my second job boss evaluated me yesterday and I will be getting a $.75 raise effective immediately. I feel really lucky to have gotten this job, although I am dead tired all the time and don't even ask what my house looks like at the moment. I don't know if I will ever get used to working two jobs, but if they keep giving me raises at the gas station, how can quit? The bastards!
