Double-Jobbed Warrior?

WARNING: MATH AND RAMBLES AHEAD THE LIKES YOU'VE NEVER SEEN, OR HAVE AND HAVE BLOCKED FROM YOUR MEMORY!!!!

So, I've come to the realization that I need a second job! The way it goes now, I think I owe Gwen around $100 still. This means that this coming paycheck, after the money for groceries comes out, I'll once more be broke (but out of THAT debt). However, I still have to pay $65 for my traffic class, another $200 for the ticket itself and $450 (hopefully less after shopping around) to fix my car (which needs to be done ASAP, but after the first two). That's $715 right there, which means nearly two months at that rate! So that means, without doing anything like road tripping, buying my guitar/drums/keyboard, repurchasing a PS2 for Rock Band or anything of the sort, it'll be May before I'm clear.

Before I go into the rambling ahead though, let me say too: a second job would mean a job I could lose without dying. That grants infinite confidence for the interview AND the job itself! Suddenly it's not life or death if I'm fired!

With a second job, all the extra would go right toward these things! Granted, I doubt I'll find a second job that pays weekly, but even at minimum wage, $6*30 hours (Sundays and then overnight on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) = $180 per week. Subtract tax, maybe $150 more a week? Doesn't sound like much in comparison, but considering it'd all be icing on top of my main pay, one paycheck (two weeks) would cover the ticket and traffic school.... One more with the excess from RaC would fix the car... That puts me set in a month! Then I'd have an excess of $250 for each week! That's a guitar in one week alone! That's a PS2 AND Rock Band in another week! That's a road trip with gifts and some new CDs to listen to on the way in another! AWESOMENESS!!! And sure I'll be exhausted as hell, but I'd still get Wednesdays off!

Okay, rant done. Got off the excitement soap box. I swear I won't let PaD suffer for it; au contraire! It'd mean more adventures, more to write about!
