30 days

I watched the new TV show 30 Days last night.

In it a couple try and live off minimum wage jobs for a month. This brought back memories of when I was first married. I was working part time at a grocery store and trying to go to school. The only advantage I had over the couple in the show was that I had heath insurance through my job. The disadvantage was I had children.

For a time I worked 2 jobs. One in the evening and one all night long. I did that for about 2 years. I would either be at work or sleeping. I consider that a very dark period of my life. I walked around in a permanent daze.
