Irony

Also, you know what I realised? Because I only have part-time jobs, I'm going out less. Because I'm going out less, I'm spending less money. So in a way, I actually have more money at the end of the week than I would with a full-time job.

What the fuck?

Does that mean you work every day, and don't get a day off?

kind of. 2 of the jobs are around town and the other one is about 30 minutes away but i usually go down 3 days a week for that one but the hours always vary. the school job is on call as needed basis and the other station mostly on the weekends but can vary also, especially during baseball season where i can be scheduled for 3 or 4 games a week to engineer. there so cheap though, they have money for other people to pay for classes and give them overtime, where ive been with them for 6 years and nothing. they offered me full time once but i had an internship in north hollywood at the time and i didn't know how that was going to turn out so i said no. and the person that ended up with that position, only gets 30 hours a week now since they cut hours. im always looking but its very hard right now so im just saving and trying not to buy anything but i get tempted at times. thats why im still at home. i can't afford over $1,000 for rent. i have money to move out, i just don't have steady income to keep up with that. i have some bills but they are not that much.

Sounds like you know exactly how I feel.

So wait, you're a teacher, and an engineer?

yeah hopefully it gets better for both of us! its like im the oldest, i was supposed to be making okay money. my sister is in the air force so she practically gets everything paid for her and my brother is making good money and what about me?? im a sub clerical for a local school district where i can sub for positions like secretary, administrative secs or assistants, attendance, couns sec, receptionists, things like that. so its like on call but ive done a few long term assignments where ive been at a certain school for months or so. I'm not a teacher and i can't sub for one. Never really thought about teaching. I also work at 2 radio stations as a engineer/board operator. i assist and produce during live shows, and such so i do a variety of stuff. there both only part time and the station that im close to, ive been there 6 years. i love the work, i enjoy and would love to continue working behind the scenes in either tv, radio or film. not on the air though but ive spoken a few lines and done a couple of commericals. though i wish they would reward someone who never calls in sick and does more than what im expected to do but i get the b/s story all the time. well see what happens when im not there anymore and making tons of money!^^

That actually sounds like a lot of fun! Is it?

[pharoah999.livejournal.com]

it is! its like creating a show for people to either watch or listen to, in my case listen to so i hope im doing a good job. ive done a few church shows weekly, live and recorded where my clients would bring themselves or guests unto the program and do their shows,take calls and play music. When airing the sports programs, ive done minor baseball,angels baseball, nfl and lakers in california, its always fun. im a sports gal so i enjoy it. i would run the sound board and put the program on air, take our commerical breaks and such. i really enjoy it.
