Both are tech support jobs. First one- 3:30pm until 12am, with Monday and Tuesday off. Second one, 6:00am until 2:30pm, Sunday and Monday off. :bloated:

With that little one I saw a picture of last week? Even with one day off, I'd think just about everyone would be stretched pretty thin by that. If you dont need the job - I'd say dont do it. Given my opinion of you I think you could cut it if you had to though.

You have to ask yourself why do i have to do it?
If you are doing it for the money and for a short period of time(couple of months) then go for it.
But if it for a long time....No. After seeing the pic of your daughter here last week i'm sure she would like to see her Dad at home. Kids grow up so quick and if you dont spend the time with them now they will be gone and you will regret the time missed.
The money may be good on paye day...but it isn't worth it when your so fucked from working you cant spend any other time doing the things you enjoy.
I done the same thing awhile back....but i look back now and i know that rest is very important to after almost losing everything i had.

that would be really sucky hours kris, but if you think you can handle it, go for it. I don't think I could do that though, too much time away from the family. :bloated:

Underfucking statement of the century!
(sorry Kris)
As Pman said if your only going to do it for a very short while then go for it, You will be totaly fucked for the duration but after fighting fires it should be pretty easy.
The only problem is you won't see your wife or kid at all during the time, except to be grumpy with them becasue you havnt had the 4 hours sleep your going to get every night.
If both you and your wifie are willing to deal with that for a short time then good luck to you.
Otherwise don't do it!

You CAN do it. My best friend did it for almost exactly one year. Two full time jobs doing live-in care for people with mental disabilities (mostly Downs Syndrome patients). Technically no days off, two four-day work weeks (so only one doubleshift), but his work time did include overnights, so some of his working hours, he was asleep but on call for middle of the night emergencies, which were fairly frequent. And his longest consecutive stretch of working days without a day off was 93 (at the risk of going postal, he had to take a few shifts off)!!
It also will depend on how mindless you can afford to be at work, because you will be a zombie. Just get out of one of the jobs when you start to really slip and make some mistakes. You can also afford to do it since you are married and can have your wife agree to shoulder most of the responsibility at home, i.e. cooking, cleaning, paying bills, and general care of your daughter and the household.
:ylsuper I say go for it :sun: Best of luck dude.

If it's tech support for the general public,good luck.....life in front of a monitor without relief,dealing with the semi-literate who don't understand their software would not suit me (even if Iwas a techie!),but if it's a short-term thing for a quick capital gain,go for it.Just make sure you give it away before it damages your relationships.

I depends on what you want. I understand that you may need the cash for certain things. That's okay that's up to you and your wife - and I'm sure if you put your mind to it, it can be done.
But you have to offset that against any sacrifices you may have to make elsewhere. I'm not saying you won't have time for your family but I'm guessing you know the difference between quality time and time that you are dead tired and happen to be @ home.
Here's some advice from someone who's burnt the candle @ both ends in his dim dark past
Eat Well (I'm not talking eating big but eating quality food - this is one of the hardest things), avoid caffeine and cigarettes (both can end up as a crutch), fit in some exercise with some fresh air (this could be just playing with the kids) and sleep well (exercise will help you out).
Don't do it too long. I don't have kids but from observation you only get to raise kids once. And from the sounds of things you have a great partner and kid - so talk to your family and see what they think too...

Sounds like hell to me. :( I'm sure if you want something badly enough you will do it. I would only do it for a short period of time though as you will no doubt feel totally burnt out. :(
On a less serious note, I hold down two full time jobs - Personal Assistant and Professional AF Poster. Both 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday. :D

anyway. I could take that kind of job, but I don't have a family. Beware of your mental health. I did that kind of thing once. 8am to 4pm worked at a sofware sales company, 5pm to midnight(at least) pizza delivery. But I wasn't doing much else. It does start to take it's toll.
If you feel you can handle it, go for it. But my vote would be to be with the family.

Nope, for everyone's information kris is a 'somebody'. He's currently ranked #1 for someone's favorite dad and hubby and is a regular AF COT correspondent and moderator. He's now shed the 'slacker' part of his title and is now he is #1 at being kris.
And I'll hear no one talking about kris like that.
