I love my job, I do enjoy coming into work most days. I only say that because I'm not a morning person and I enjoy sleeping in to late morning. However I crawl out of bed and make it to work everyday, normal 40 hour weeks. I don't get paid enough for my position, (I'm at the low low side of the pay scale) so I also do work outside of work. Which I get paid twice as much versus my full time job.

I'm a computer technician at a junior college, and I do the same outside of work for local area businesses and the community. I've never advertised, yet I'm always busy. I believe I'm responsible for the demise of the local computer guy that started up a couple years ago. He ripped people off and does shoddy work. So it wasn't too difficult picking up his clients via word of mouth. My job at the college pays the bills, my freelance job pays for the fun stuff. I've worked with about 6 area businesses, created one website a couple of years ago, currently working on another, will be working on a 3rd later this summer.

The only downside is it doesn't leave a lot of time for my other hobbies.

65-70 hours a week, two jobs, wife gets my full time check to keep the house running and the part time job money is for me. Which buys all my motorcycle and car goodies.

I'm happy to say I am a "Retire-aholic" since 1 Jan 2012, and a "Camaro-holic" since 11 May 2012. Life is good!
