i go to the bank because i don't have the ATM card - hubby does. i get paid every other week from both jobs, and hubby gets paid on the other weeks, so we have a paycheck every week. it's nice when you have bills to pay.

We both have ATM cards, so that makes it easier. And were fortunate enough to be able to charge all of our bills to the credit cards... we pay those completely off once a month, which means we only need to worry about paying the bills about once a month. Most of them are automatic.

[trystan830]

well that's cool. =)

Yeah. Things were much tighter back when I was the only one working and he was finishing school, but everything got better after he graduated and found work. Took him a year after graduating to find it, though - he was applying pretty much constantly too.

my main job i've been at for 7 years... but i've lost hours because the economy and the government t-bill rates kinda suck, so we have less work. ugh. that's why i needed a second job. and hubby works a lot of OT too. our credit card debt needs to come down a bit.

I've been at my job for about 6 and a half years now. I work in the public sector, and was fortunate to not have been laid off in the 4 waves they've had in my state over the last 5 years. Almost, once.

i'm sorta passively looking for M-F 9-5, but at least i have the M-Th 9-3! so i'm not complaining!

[Mek]

I have a M-F 8-4:30. I used to have a 6-2:30 and I rather miss that. If I could, I'd do a 4/10 schedule.

[trystan830]

i'd rather go in at 9... and be done at 3, but get paid until 5. heh.

[Mek]

Heh. That would be awesome.

[trystan830]

better yet, stay at home, play on line, crochet (in my case)... and get paid! =)

[Mek]

I've been told that gets boring after a while. I myself can't manage longer than a week before wanting to be back at work.

[trystan830]

hmm, you may have a point.

well, i'd like to goof off and get paid for it. where do i sign up for that?

[Mek]

How about periodic moments with stretches of needing actual work done?

[trystan830]

sounds good to me!

[Mek]

Then you want to work right around where I do. xD
