My “Plan B”

As I made coffee this morning I glanced at the monitor and saw this article on http://usatoday.com

Direct sales (like Avon, Mary Kay) offer recession-proof jobs http://tinyurl.com/od9h3e

I joined the ranks of direct sales a few years ago and have found a great company just like the people featured in this article.

It works if you work it!

And I am relieved that it does work, coming off the events of last week and my letter that I am no longer needed at my job.

Do you have a plan B?

Expect the Unexpected

It was a typical day at work for me, Thursday May 7, 2009.

I punched the time clock at my typical time 8:30 am.

Went about my typical work day, delivering the mail to P O Box customers when I came across a letter addressed to me at my P O Box address from my employer.

So this typical day became atypical. You see I had just delivered to myself my termination notice. I went numb for 2 days and am just now able to write about the experience.

I am still in shock! I read the letter. I reread the letter. I read it again, and again, and again. All I can say is “Is this for real?”

I have worked for the postal service for 23 years. August 2, will be 24 years. Now I am a statistic. I am one of the millions of Americans being affected by this upheaval in our economy. And it feels bad.

Thursday at work I shared my horrific news with a few co-workers. You see they were yet to get the news of their phlight. Since their mail was delivered to their home (vs mine to my P O Box), we had the entire day to await their outcome.

On Wednesday, there was a memo sent to our Manager that over 343 positions were being cut in the Dallas district. This announcemento comes on the heels of previous announcements make earlier about the industry I work in Now I had concrete proof that I was one of them.

I am so glad I had a plan B

The New “Moonlighting”

Millions of people are working second jobs without the commute as they are work online using the internet to supplement their income.
just look at the definition:
Moonlighting or
moon·light (mnlt)
n.
The light reflected from the surface of the moon.
intr.v. moon·light·ed, moon·light·ing, moon·lights Informal
To work at another job, often at night, in addition to one’s full-time job.

My how times have changed. Thanks to technology the “:often at night” part of the definition is passe. You can now work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the comfort of your home.

As I was driving to work today, I kept drifting to this thought, “I work where I live” This is the reality for a lot of people today. Some intentionally working where they live, and some by force due to layoffs.

Since this is a blog about my moonlighting journey, I just wanted to share and ask what are you doing to earn extra income.

Do you moonlight?
