I Don’t Wanna Go Back to a J.O.B.

Hubby has been trying to talk me into going back to my old restaurant job. I know they would hire me back, but I’m just not interested. The pay sucks, and they won’t hire anyone who won’t work weekends. And I do not want to work weekends, period. I’ve done more than my fair share of that over the years, and I need some time to spend with my family.

I have thought about looking for another job and going through the whole employment screening process once again. But I want something part time that would allow me to continue with my writing, and it would have to pay better than most jobs in this area to make it worthwhile. As expensive as gas has gotten, it’s just not worth driving 40 minutes to an hour round trip to go to work unless you’re making decent money. But Hubby can’t seem to grasp that concept, even though he faced it at his last job. Where he works now, he meets up with a guy who lives less than 5 minutes from here and rides to work in a company truck.

I might see if I can find a secretarial job of some sort that’s part time. We could use a little more dependable income. I would have it if I could concentrate on my writing like I used to, but I’m still not back up to full speed yet. And I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever get there.
