    I get bored easily with the jobs I'm in and it doesn't seem to matter what I do. I've tried several things over the years but always find after working the first three days each week, I've had enough. I consider myself a free-spirited person and for me the thought of having to keep working one job for five days a week just depresses me. I feel like I'm trapped in a prison and spend my days wishing for home time or the weekend.

    The job I'm doing at the moment I would be happier if I went part-time as it's just too quiet, plus I commute 3 hours a day right now and am losing out on my social life as a result but also because I work late nights as well. My thinking is to go part-time in this job and then get another part-time job nearer home.

    Anyone, here have two part-time jobs or simply feel the same way.

    I always get bored really quickly. I never had a job for more than 6 months.

    Why don't you just try working from home?

    I'm thinking of doing that possibly as my second job. On the one hand it would be nice to work from home but at the same time I'd like to work in the city for a few days and meet different people. Plus I have some of my friends in the city too. I like variation.
