    Default I need a push...

    In the right direction. Got married and moved to a new state. Had a job waitressing and got FIRED. ( not my fault- short story) Got completely depressed and now dependent on my husband to pay 98% of everything.
    Finally got off my ass and went to the local club ( 40 min away) and am working 1 day a week. Club is stage only and you get $2 for any drink a guy buys you. So not a great $ making club. One week decent next week crap.
    Normally I would not have a problem with this next part, but our landlords know I've been out of work since feb. His family does not know, but I suspect the landlord may have mentioned it to his brother b/c she goes into his store.
    So meanwhile I am working and now I'm starting to get questions like, 'So what do you do down there all day? You must be so bored."
    I just want to tell them I got a job, but I'm not sure of what to say. If I tell them a resturant they will probably want to eat there. Or if I mention a businesss they will probably know if it exists or not. I would love to come up with a plausable lie as to what I do between 6 and 2 am.
    We live down their road so they pass the house all the time. they are nice, but they have 2 kids. One is off to college in the fall and the other one is 16 and goes to CATHOLIC school.
    So my delimma is what do I do? I am debating trying to get a " regular" job, but they pay shit. Also it seems like they want your damn life for $7.25 hr. They want you available days, nights, weekends and holidays. Right now my husb has weekends off and I am a strictly one schedule or another chick b/c of my sleep issues.
    I want to work more days a week but I'm going to a chiro right now for back pain.
    I was looking into phone sex, but not so sure it would bring in what I need.( I just started reading the forums) Plus then what do I tell them?? I can just see it now. No, you cannot call me on that phone.( when they come here and see we have a landline) Sorry I'm working right now I cannot talk.( if they drop in for whatever reason.)
    I'm so stressed out. I need to work 4 or 5 days a week. We need the $.
    School is not an option.
    any ideas?

    Just explain you have a job but you prefer to not talk about it. They shouldn't worry about it if they are still getting the rent and everything is getting properly taken care of. They don't need to know the details.

    I would say that you're doing some work as an inventory taker. You know when they have people that come into the grocery stores, convenience stores late at night and they start scanning all the items on the shelves? Plus, they change up locations after each project.
    So, they can't ask to come visit you because you never know which store you will be working at for the 2 weeks (or however long inventory is). Hope this helps.

    As for company, if they ask, maybe say you got hired through a temp agency.

    Why does your landlord need to know what kind of work you do as long as you're paying the rent?

    You're doing shift work for a woman who runs a private animal shelter the next town over. Y'know, nursing sick kittens and stuff...

    All good ideas. I like the inventory taker idea. I may have to use that. Esp temping.
    They really don't need to know in my opinion, but it's kinda like guys that want to know your real name and then you give them a fake real name. It's so stupid, but it makes them feel better.
    I just don't want them to think I'm a lazy bum, b/c I'm so not. And I really don't need them to ask questions I have no answers to. It's a sprawled out country town, but I have a feeling they all know each other here.
    Plus if they knew what I was doing they might feel justified to jack up the rent, and the $ is so not like that right now.

    Definitely understandable... the busybody type. I worked through a temp agency before (a while ago though). They have you come in for an interview and do some assessment tests like a typing test for words per minute, etc... Check out your Yellow Pages and pick the biggest one. Just toss some of those terms out there so it sounds like you know what you're talking about and you should be fine.

    This is the right answer. It's none of your landlord's business what you do for work as long as it doesn't violate your lease. If he/she asks again, just say that you're doing temp work and the hours change a lot.
