The Day Job

By day, and sometimes middle of the night, I am an IT contractor. I bill by the hour for helpdesk, system administrating, and software development. This makes answering my kids’ questions about how much I make rather complicated, as it depends on what it is I am doing at any given time what I am making per hour. This coupled with the intermittentness of doing break/fix computer work means that my monthly income can vary wildly. Enter, the side jobs.

The Part-Time Job

Getting paid once a month means that occasionally there is too much month at the end of my paycheck. To help even this out a bit I picked up a part-time job delivering pizzas. I make much less per hour doing this, but I get paid at the end of every shift. This helps keep gas in my car and milk in the fridge in between paychecks.

Side Gigs

Other miscellaneous income sources include occasionally helping a local landscaper on weekends and doing odd jobs for the owner of the building my office is in
