I am up at 6:30 am because of my kids and the commute during rush hour and I don't even start work until 9:30. Sometimes I really miss working graveyards as the prep time and travel time was so much shorter, my days were mostly free, and that was so much less general hassle.Labor boards have info on local laws for free

I've used the "real job" comment, I'm afraid
I was referring to my sis's boyfriend who is a DJ. Boy did I catch hell for that comment (at least only my sis heard it). I really meant no ill will, I just meant that he should find some work that didn't involve being a DJ. At the time my sis was complaining how her boyfriend couldn't find steady DJ work and was behind in all his bills. Doing what you love is grand, but you still have to pay your bills. And frankly, moonlighting at a second job that at least has a steady paycheck is a reasonable suggestion. But I unfortunately referred to the steady paycheck as a "real job". Learned that lesson but good.A lion however, will only devour your corpse, whereas an SC is not sated until they have destroyed your soul. (Quote per infinitemonkies)

I tend to consider the popcorn monkey half of my job as not being a 'real job'. Which I guess is why I have been doing it. Having now found a 'real' job that I love (projectionist), I am desparate to do more of it and less of the popcorn monkey side of things."I can tell her you're all tied up in the projection room."

Quoth BeenThereDoneThat View PostUgh...who crapped in that last guy's cornflakes...
The first SC sounds like my husband. I work part time at home and no, compared to him (he's a software developer) I don't make a lot, but I do make SOMETHING. Next time he tells me to get a real job I'm going to tell him I'm taking my fake paychecks back!
At least my Canadian who does the same thing yours does(developer) doesn't give me crap for working part time.. Well he did once and that was the last time.. He really didn't like the list of things that get done on my time off so he doesn't have to deal with them.
He couldn't bitch while true I don't pay rent, he never covers my bills and never has to do laundry or shopping(just has to help haul it in the house) those 50lb bags of dog food he's gonna lift them in the house. I did good getting it in the car and did I mention its his dog?

Ahh, how often have I been told that being a Security Officer is not a 'real job.' I told one person 'I guess I'll get a real job when they start paying as well as this one.' I guess it's a well-known fact that security companies never hire anyone who finished high school."If anyone wants this old box containing the broken bits of my former faith in humanity, I'll take your best offer now. You may be able to salvage a few of em' for parts..... " - Quote by Argabarga
