Hello folks. Today's gonna have a more personal update from my end

Fair bit going on in my end... my mother has gone and gotten us/me a second job, see. It's cleaning up some offices and a couple bathrooms, at a Ford car dealership at night, for only like... an hour a night, six days a week (as my mom kept harping, "What's an hour out of your day??") for either $20 an hour (which my go up to $25-30) or $1000 (give or take) guarenteed a month.

Now while I'd admit this is a good money opportunity, and for which may very well be pretty darn easy work, I'm still... pretty mixed feelings about it. I'm worried about just how much time this will really be dipping out of my days, either working or just getting back and forth to it...

I'm either going to be depending on mom or dad to drive me there (until I get around to getting my new driver's permit, which could take awhile yet, since I'm not ready), or biking there (my stepdad offered to look for a decent bike for me, which is helpful). Now while biking obviously appeals more to me; I'll get exercize and won't have to depend on anyone or waste gas, it could have it's downsides too.

Depends on how long it takes to get there/how I'm feeling/the weather. (There's also the tiny chance that it's not safe to be biking at night, but considering I've been walking around this area at night many times before, I'm not that bothered. I also hope my bike won't get stolen, but I'll take my precautions with that.)

And even if it is only an hour night... it basically means I'll never have a FULL day off from either job. Which makes me worry about spreading myself too thin and burning out... It's suffice to say, I'm pretty mixed signals about it all.

Well, we and mom got the phone call confirming it today; we start Monday night. So I'll just have to see how it goes from there and see how I like it. Dad's at least given me support, saying I can quit if I really don't like it. Mom'll probably rip me a new one... but that's nothing new. I guess I'll give it a few weeks/a month, to see if I can handle it. Either way, I'll be making some extra money, which is a plus.

...I'm starting to wish I didn't take all the trades I did this month *sweatdrop* I really gotta buckle down on Colour comic pages. I seriously need to get back into the swing of them and get a proper buffer going again, so I can stop freaking out. If I'm going to be losing personal time, I need to manage my projects more accordingly.

I guess that's all my thoughts on the matter, for time being I'll be sure to get back to you guys soon and let you know how it's going. Sorry to sound so pesimistic... I'm sure things will probably go smoother than I'm thinking. I just hate starting a new job, to be honest XD; Wish me luck!

Oh. Happy (Belated) Mother's Day! (will post something in Scraps for it, tomorrow, so check there )
