My main and primary job is very demanding but there are sometimes breaks where we are still expected to do work from home. It’s a considered a “mid-career” job so it’s demanding and the pay is terrible. Today was one of the rare “work from home” days. So naturally I looked to pick up a shift at my second job.
My second job pays more. Hour for hour, maybe 6 or 7 times more (but job 1 is not really per hour). But I am subject to finding available shifts to pick up. It is 100% in person. If I wanted more out of this job, I would have to leave my mid-career job (which is shitty now but has a much better outlook). Today, they had a shift available. I picked it up. It’s been a slow shift so I was able to dedicate sometime to my 3rd job (the side gig).
This 3rd job is 100% online. It’s a gig-based job and each gig takes about an hour. It pays somewhere in between job 1 and job 2. So in a quiet hour in job 1 or job 2, I try to sneak sometime to do as many gigs of job 3 as I can.
So today I hit the trifecta. I was “working from home” for job 1, physically present in job 2, and actively working on job 3. Triple dipping.
