Have you ever worked more than one job at the same time?

Yes. I had kicked the 3rd ex out of the house for mistreating my son, and naturally, he refused to contribute any money toward the bills. I was working the phones for customer service at a large health insurance company full time, but wasn't making enough money to pay all the bills by myself.

I picked up a second job, making phone calls to notify stock holders that their meetings were coming up. That job began one hour after my first job ended, and ran till 9 pm.

I had to drive an hour to get to work each day, and an hour back, so each day was a 14 hour day. Toward the end of it, I felt as though my body was crashing.

@4meAndyou I would get worn down so quick doing that. Did you even get to rest at home after all of that time away?

@cherokeepatti I got home about 10 or 10:30 each night, but during this period of time I had to do grocery shopping on the weekends. Prior to kicking the ex out of the house, I used to hit the stores after work.

I found it VERY hard to relax quickly enough to get to sleep at 11 pm. I had to be up at 6:00 to shower and get ready for that massively long day and hit my commute.
