Is Anyone out There? Part Time

     Is anyone out there? This is my ninth post and I have yet to get a comment. I do appreciate that I have had some views. If I continue to post something that will be interesting to folks and get a following. That would be swell!
     Well my work week is over. Well kind of. I work a part time job on Mondays. This is a great way to make a little extra when you don't make much. You work five days a week at your normal job. No matter what you do you cannot make any more money. Unless of cousre you can get overtime. I used to get a lot of overtime. But with the advent of a "bad" economy, companies cutting back, doing more with less etc. That went away. So you make do with what you make on your regular job. Or you do something else with your time besides guarding the TV, playing video games or surfing the net.
     Though experience I have found that you want to do something different than what you usually do. The reason being if you do what you always do is an extension of your normal work. After your normal work why would I want to do the same thing? If you cannot get overtime at your same task you are making your real job more of a task. So you have to diversify.
     Let's say that my regular job has a lot of in your face. Find something that takes you away from that. A menial task that you just have a task to be completed. I think that one time I raked a hundred million leaves. Picked  them  up and put them in a dumpster. It was cool. The leaves didn't talk back to me. Just put them in the right dumpster. I did not the first time. I figured it out and was ultimately offered a full time job there. From bottom I went to second in charge. But you cannot be a loafer. You have to take charge.
     The other thing that you can do is take a job that pays barter. A barter job has its risks. If you get hurt, you are on your own. So I sugest that you do not take on a very daring task.
      The last is about letting someone use something. Make it very clear that they are  using it, You  use it or you  don't. Check your chain. Does it need lubed? Have fun, get by and make money.
