So during the day I am a high school teacher. I took a front desk job at a recreation center because I am kind of an insomniac so it made sense to earn some extra money working evenings. I am thinking I work my shift tomorrow and then on Monday say I am done. My boss refuses to schedule me regularly. One week I may work Mon Wed Fri Sat, the other TU Thurs Sun Saturday.
