won't matter. Go to local gas marts and you will get hired. Many open 24/7. Have trouble filling overnight shifts.

When I was briefly part of the workforce, not very many jobs worked around a 2nd job's schedule. The employer wanted everyone to have open availability. It's an employer's market. The employer has no reason to work around someone's schedule when there are thousands of applicants with open availability for one opening. There's even less jobs now than when I was employed.

Where I live, the cheapest SRO buildings require income only 1.5 times the monthly rent, so here you could rent an SRO room up to $488 per month.

I once had two jobs at the same time, until July 4 when BOTH bosses wanted me to work the same shift and I had to choose which job I wanted to keep.

No car = how to get to / from graveyard shift?

Tell us how the job scheduling would work, to get from home to Job 1 to Job 2 and back home the same day.

Remember that at least three hours are consumed in commuting to and from Job 1.

An 8 hour job plus 3 hour commute leaves 13 hours per day. Work and commute 6 hours a night, 7 hours to do whatever you want.

One hour max seems reasonable-which should cover at least 4 miles.

You're wasting your time. Until the solution you offer up is a free home, no need to work, free utilities and basically living on the charity of others, every time you reply there will be another excuse.

That has already proved to be fact.

You're being played with.

Now squeeze in three weekday medical appointments. Unfortunately, those have to happen daytime on weekdays, so I don't get much wiggle room in scheduling them.
