Another Nursing Job

Great news today; I now have a part-time job at a local Veterns senior's home. Hopefully I will be able to pick up two eight hour shifts a week there in addition to my usual 75 hours every two weeks at the hospital. Am I nuts? Well, I don't think so.
  1. We could always use the extra money for a new computer, a new roof, a ride-on lawn mower, or another cruise!
  2. Now that the kids are back to school, what am I supposed to do with my five days off? House cleaning is only so much fun.
  3. I have been working one shift a week at GNC, so I may as well work for $28.00 an hour rather than $8.50.
  4. The nursing home is only ten minutes away and the shifts are 8 hours long, thus working from 7:30 to 3:30 is a lot different than leaving home at 5:45am and getting back at 8:20pm. Hell, the nursing home shift will barely feel like work.
  5. Did I mention the extra money.
  6. Finally, the more experience I can obtain can only help me.

I have two orientation shifts next week which I am really looking forward to.

Oh ya, I did my weights today, right on schedule. Time to work off this big fat gut and bring my bodyfat down from 15% to 10% by Xmas.
