I was at my day job on Monday when I looked at my phone and realized I had missed a call from my boss from the night job I quit last summer. I called him back and he picked up almost immediately. "I called you on accident", he said. "Sorry."
"Oh, no problem."
He paused a moment, then asked "You wanna work?"
I answered in the affirmative.
"You can work nights?"
Again, immediate yes.
"Ok, come in at five today."
So I came in and my old coworkers were surprised and really glad to see me. Apparently, they had a few people quit in a short amount of time. I worked two days in a row but I have tonight off from the night job which will give me some time to either go to the gym or to clean the kitchen up really well, I haven't decided on which yet. I'm in good spirits though because, even though I've never been short on paying my bills, the money has been getting tighter as of late. I want to get back to how it was last year when I was paying my bills and I still had multiple uncashed checks on hand at any given time. It's nice to have extra in case something comes up so I can break it off without even having to think about it. That is peace of mind.
The other nice thing is that, since I was so tired from working two jobs yesterday, I went to sleep early so then I woke up early and made coffee and breakfast and have been reading John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" since 5:00 this morning. That makes for a nice beginning of my day.
