Confession: I'm not looking terribly hard for a second job. I check the usual listings every couple of days, but I'm not scouting as feverishly as I was post-graduation. This is partly because I'm frustrated by the constant catering to students, partly because I'm hanging on to the hope that my hours at CeDIR will eventually increase (recent advancement: they're giving me a key!), and mostly because I'm lazy.
I like my free mornings. I like being able to exercise and write in peace. I like getting errands done and maintaining a reasonably clean apartment. I really don't want to drive all over town hopping from one minimum wage job to the next. Since I left ILL/DDS, my income has decreased by about $250 a month, which is large proportionate to my poverty-level income but miniscule in the long run.
If a decent-paying position that enhances my resume pops up, I'll go for it. But for now, I'm going to enjoy my half-lazy days.
