I took a part time gig with the city, managing events at one of my favorite buildings in the area.
I get out of the house, get some mental stimulation, lots of exercise, meet new folks, attend events like comic con for free and get to roam all over a HUGE building with lots of sneaky sneaks and interesting aspects.
There will be LOTS of "hurry up and wait" time where I'm simply manning a station and keeping my ears on the radio and responding if issues arise.
Supervisor told me that on the really slow times (Say a prom is running upstairs and doesn't need anything as they have folks running it for the school and PD on station) that I am welcome to surf the net, watch netflix, do as I will.
I actually plan to use some of those hours to do another side gig (this gig knows I have that one), working on their website and social media etc. I bill that one by the hour and would only do it because I'm not good at being "at work" and not "working"....
I don't know that it matters but this income isn't really needed BUT, if I'm out of the house and "at work" I think it's easier to do the online gig while I'm "meat in the seat" at the gig that requires a physical presence. I use the income to buy beer, go out to eat more than I otherwise would, upgrade our vacations/airbnbs, and still have some left to stuff into VTSAX and VMRXX.
So, is this ethical? Any reason I shouldn't do this (get paid hourly for job x, doing job y "at same time")
