My current job ends tomorrow though so I will be job hunting for the next few days or so and hopefully find a part time gig online.
I have some light piano music playing in my earphones as I start my workday. This is a far cry from climbing on ladders in the hot sun painting houses like I was doing when I ran my own painting company. I had it going well, working about 20 hours a week and making good money, maybe $1500 a week. But I grew tired of the racket and wanted a change, which is when the 2008 crisis hit and that was my cue to get out of it for good. I packed up my car and moved to NYC, heating up my comedy career by performing each night in climate controlled clubs in the city. That somehow led me here, where I live overseas now and am singing and playing drums in a band. I work from my climate controlled office now and don’t have to worry about being a local contractor on the top of a tall ladder anymore. My current job ends tomorrow though so I will be job hunting for the next few days or so and hopefully find a part time gig online. There are lots of HVAC technology gigs online if you are willing to write about heating and cooling systems, which is something that I have been doing the past few years. I’m just looking for $500 a month now and it should be easy to grab something making that amount. My air conditioning bills during the summer are pretty low thanks to my high SEER rated HVAC system, so I can run the thing while I work from home this summer.
