My first week with two part time contract jobs was pretty tiring. I have a lengthy commute now because it takes me 30-45 minutes to get to my first job, then 30 or so to get to the second, and an hour or more to get back home. I'm also not earning nearly as much with the second job but as I may have mentioned, I'm doing it for a friend. :) Well, and for the potential references and experience to put on my resume, of course.

I'm kinda getting into the whole idea of trying a lot of different things while I still have the freedom to do so. I've got this second contract and I'm also reviving a volunteer project (also web related, for a non-profit). I'm poking at my web projects when I have the time (I don't much, lately). I'm meeting new people and getting into new hobbies. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of figuring out how to balance my time better, too.

One important habit that I have to keep up with is exercise. I'm trying to go with my hubby and a friend to the gym every Saturday at 10am now, and thinking of ways to exercise during the week, too. I get tired pretty quick with all the work and commute. Though I had it pretty tough in my last semester of school, too. The hard part is that I work so early that my only time to exercise is when I'm the most tired.

So I'm thinking now of buying some weights and having them at my cubicle. At least I could get some reps in while thinking about code! There's a lot of time I'm either sitting and waiting for things to compile or stuck on figuring out something difficult, so I'm not actually typing anyhow.
