I do software support. The money is good but I am a little overextended on credit. I 'feel' like I just barely scrape by with one job. I want to start a microISV and I already have two products to market. One is software and one is an ebook. Eric,

I work in a cube farm. I do software support. The money is good but I am a little overextended on credit. I ‘feel’ like I just barely scrape by with one job. I want to start a microISV and I already have two products to market. One is software and one is an ebook.

However, if it were mandatory overtime, it'd be a pain. For the most part, I like having my evenings and weekends free, as I have plenty of things to do besides work. If that was taken away from me involuntarily, that would bother me.

My employer doesn't want to have to pay time and a half, so my weekends and evenings are always free. I guess this sort of thing depends on the philosophy of the organization.

I would like to offer the flip side of that coin. I worked a second job in retail for 6 months and I recently quit because I simply couldn't take it anymore. I MIGHT start looking for another second job... something more my style, like in a bookstore or computer shop. If job # 1 offered steady or perm. overtime, I would snatch it up and not even consider a second job. I guess everything evens out. :) You worked it out dawg!

I read your blog when I need strength. You can't succeed if you don't set priorities. It is difficult to stand up to the people that give you your paycheck, but if you don't, no one else will and you will never be free. Thumbs up! sharkfish http://endangeredIT.xlan.org Good going!
