I have been working some unexpected hours this week, due to finding myself suddenly in demand as a salad maker and fruit cutter. One of the items in the weekly ad. is something that requires a tremendous amount of labor, so I have had the 'opportunity' of being employed most every day this week.
There were times several years ago, when the economy tanked, that I was hard pressed to have any work. I felt lucky to get four hours a month, just to keep me on the payroll. And more recently a department manager who was so squeezed for best use of labor hours, when I learned to expect to work 1/2 day a week.
And now here I am with so much employment, it is beginning to be 'regular'. It's good to know there is a mostly steady income, but I had gotten so accustomed to being mostly unemployed, it causes me to go to work much more than expected. Which is inconvenient for someone who stays on the go.
