I’m swarmed with so much work at the moment that I’ve had to turn away some assignments as a result. Although I work part-time, someone said that I’m a full-time part-timer. Ha! Kind of apt!
My working life is a little complicated and I suppose I can only say I’m very much on my own, and I’ve to manage my own time and assignments. This of course implies that I’m also very much on my own when it comes to my income.
Anyway, I’m running a workshop for a fairly large F&B company this Friday and this is the kind of job I consider as “spare cash.” I coined this term over lunch with a friend last week.
“Spare cash” not only because it’s extra work but “spare cash” cos I don’t get paid on time as I should be. So instead of being paid in one month’s time, sometimes my payment gets delayed to two or slightly more…So with jobs like this, I’ll put it at my lowest priority and do it only when I have “spare time.”
But looks like I’ll be having a bit of “spare cash” for a while. As long I get paid eventually, I guess “spare cash” is always better than “no cash.”
So nice to have ’spare cash’, I also hope to have.

I may consider taking part-time jobs so as to spend more time with Damien…

Ideally the kind of situation to get get “spare cash” is the one where you get paid “rent”. And I don’t mean rental properties .. hehe.

Delayed “spare cash” is good as long as I don’t have to depend on it to live on!!!
