More time for Torque:)

I got a new job. Partime 8-12. Since my wife earns more then me on the full time basis I got elected to do the part time thing, our kids are at the age when they really need supervision when they get home from school.
Kind of a drastic change, I going from an Auto shop with no heat or air condition, to an Annuity store with a cubical.
Cant wait to get out of the grease and fumes.

...know how that goes, Ace. I'm a professoinal stagehand with a wife who works fulltime; I'm home most days, tending the house/errands/dinner prep, then I go off and work for the ducets later on. Not a bad arrangement. Best 'part-time' job there is...showbiz.

By the way in case your wondering, my wife makes way more then me at work, my brother sold me his house for 250.00 a mounth, and my half of the utilities came to 100.07 (the wife and i have been splitting everything down the middle) so my end is 350 amounth, (which she could handle) but like i said, extra cash is nice.
