About working two jobs . . . .
It seems to me that working two jobs is not the desired way to earn one's living. It seems to me that working two jobs could be the result of a few things.
One could work two jobs because one cannot find a single job that allows one to make ends meet. That's probably the most common reason, although I don't actually know that to be a fact.
One could work two jobs because one wants to get something extra. One could work a second job for a few years to save for the down payment on a house. One could work a second job to get the down payment on a car - or maybe the whole price of the car. It could be to put a kid through college. All good enough reasons.
One could work because one has an propensity to acquisitiveness and self indulgence. A boat. New teevees. Extra beer to drink in the barcalounger in front of three teevees tuned to different sports events. That sort of thing.
Apart from the third option, America used to promise no need for the first two. Apart from the third, no one should be satisfied if life causes them to *need* to work two jobs.
America used to be better than that. The haves are most definitely taking it away from the wanna-haves.
I read on a right wing site, some moron proudly telling the world he works two jobs and has done so for a long time. Kudos for thinking he's doing something to be proud of. Too bad he has no clue that he shouldn't *have* to work two jobs to live a decent life. Unless, of course, he's in the third category.
How many here work two jobs?
How many here see working two jobs as something desirable?

This is why you are a DUmmie. America never promised you this...ever.

I think Coach, in his assessment that one of Stinky's children may have lost their (high-paying, capitalist, no doubt) employment, is dead on. Said offspring probably has to work two jobs now.

If that's the case, though, I'm mystified as to why Dude, Jr., didn't follow in dad's footsteps, which has proven a lucrative source of income through the years.
Dude, Sr., ostensibly is a "restaurant consultant," but we know what's going on; he's actually in the "restaurant protection racket," working for the d'Alessandro crime family of Baltimore with a subsidiary out in San Francisco.

Stinky can't figure out why someone who works 2 jobs could be proud of the fact that they are doing so. Meanwhile I bet he understands being proud of being on food stamps though. :mental:

I didn't mind working two jobs... I enjoyed the variety and LOVED the extra money. Aside from my current job (where I just received a very large raise), it's probably the most I earned in a single year. If I could do it again, I would.
Stinky is a pathetic, jealous shitbag, but we knew that already.

Old cat shit scooper needs to realize that most of the primitives scratch their heads at why they should have to even work one job.

Congratulations Chris. :)
Hell, yeah. I needed the money. I was looking for a part-time job anyway, but they sure are hard to come by now that the Magic Moron is in the White House. It's somewhere between $6-7k over what I was making when I was hired. Good enough for me.

4. About a year and a half ago I had two part time jobs
because I hadn't yet found one full-time job. I was working probably not quite forty hours a week altogether.
The biggest hassle was travelling between the two, even though I live in a relative small city (Santa Fe, NM) and the two jobs weren't all that far apart. It made me realize that the issues of working more than one job go far beyond the money aspect of it. There's an inconvenience tax as well.
There are also those who work as much overtime as they can get at the workplace, because they need or want the money. In that case it's like a second job, only the actual hours are erratic, and there's not the part about driving to another workplace.
Personally, I try to work as little as possible, because the things that matter the most to me are not happening at the job.
When I was a small child my father worked a second job for some months -- I think less than a year -- to earn the money for a down payment on a house.

That is an awesome raise. :)

Stinky is ramping up because he knows it's October and we will soon be voting for DOTY. Or perhaps he's just that stupid.

Oh I believe that he is that stupid.

Yes and yes.
Stinky is a ****ing moron. I don't understand why anyone here pays attention to him other than he's a *****-whipped dipshit who's easy to goad. Watching a grown man cry is just sad.

He's an Obama voter and he belongs to the DU so there are two pieces of evidence of his stupidity. His posts demonstrate much more.

That's why I'm boycotting him, Nads has slowed down so now he's purposely ramping it up to get votes!
