Work, work, work

I wonder how people can have 2 or more jobs and not go crazy. I officially started working this week and I'm already stressed like hell. It's mostly my fault, I didn't plan my week as I should and ended up being late with the articles for the magazine (we had quite a busy week on the news front), but I thought I would only work in the afternoon with a few extra mornings every now and then. Instead, it looks like my part-time job is quickly turning into a full-time one. Which is great for my bank account, but I'd like to have a schedule at the beginning of the week, so I can organise my work; instead, my boss tells me from day to day whether I'll have to work only in the afternoon or the whole day. Now, for example, I know I'll have to work the whole day on Monday, but I'm not sure about Tuesday. Oh, well, as long as the overtime gets paid.

But my job isn't only a cause of stress. I was checking the definition of "piercing" on the Cambridge dictionary online yesterday, to see if I could use it in a certain contest, and this was the example they gave for it:

Sherlock Holmes gave him a piercing glance.

Ha.

EDIT: Also, did you see the latest PETA pet neutering campaign?

There's no such thing as a part-time job you only get to get paid half for doing all the work in half the time... And on top the employers want you to work when it suits them aka have no life that might be more important than work *sigh*

Heh the PETA marketing campains tend to be the best!

Well, technically I should only work in the afternoon, because this is a "quiet" period for the business (I work on a small student-exchange agency and most of the students are already enrolled), but in the last 2 weeks we had quite a few new requests, because a bigger agency didn't accept all the people who wanted to go to the USA, so these people came to us. My boss wasn't expecting that, hence all the new "shifts", if we want to call them that.

As I said, as long as I get paid for the overtime, that's OK, I only need to organise my week accordingly, but that's kinda difficult at the moment.
