Default 2nd Job Choices - 01-13-2005, 03:53 PM

As most of you dont know, i work an overnight job 40 hours a week. For most this would mean sleeping the day away. However i dont sleep all that much leaving me with an over abundance of free time to sit on my ass doing nothing. Most would enjoy this free time, i do not. I dont like feeling this lazy, let alone actually acting this lazy.

Naturally i've been pondering for some time about filling my day time hours with a second job. This should be a simple task right, walk in to a bunch of places and fill out an application. The problem here is that im not exactally a nice person, with a fairly low tollerance for most of the population, kids taking the cake. I have worked retail as a salesman and can most times cover my hatred for others long enough to clear a shift. That was in the past, im far more filled with intollerance and hate than i was back then.

To cut this down, what are some places i can work 20 hours a week with a fairly regular schedule. With the stipulations that i should probably enjoy going to it, or atleast like something about it. I come to you since i cant really think of many jobs where i have minimal interaction with people, so try to keep that in mind.

I never knew you to be a scumbag towards people...i'm quite suprised.

Anywho, ever think of a store greeter? That should break you from your bad dealings with people !! biggrin:

I know what your feeling. You could be work at a grocery store. Their are lots of neat things you can do that don't involve people.

UPS - 21 hours a week and you could probably get an early morning shift so you could go straight from one job to the next.

Noctis's idea seems to be the best, although working at grocery store would be pretty slick.

Yeah, i agree some sort of "Stocking" job would be good. Don't have to deal with people that much.

Then you can do a TV show like "King of Queens" in your own town.
