Speaking of second jobs, I have one now.

Not that I need the cash or anything.

Though having the extra cash will be nice.

I've been recruited to be the head pastry chef at a coffee shop... well, I'm "head pastry chef" by virtue of being the only pastry chef. I get business cards that list my title as "Pastry Chef". (They asked what I wanted on it, so I told them.) ;-)

I started this job this morning at 5am. It's amazing how alert I actually was a 4am when my alarm went off. And then it was amazing how alert I was at 9:30am when I went to my regular job. By 3pm I was fading fast, but a quick 5-minute Power Nap™ during a long software install fixed that. Then when I got home at 6pm, another 5-minute Power Nap™ recharged me for the evening's chores. And all that on 3 hours of sleep! (Long story.)

"So what do you do?"

"By day I'm a mild-mannered (though slightly short-tempered) software engineer, and by night (which is actually very early morning) I'm a pastry chef."

Oh yeah... the final 3 months of culinary school is an internship, so I'm hoping and praying for an internship in Hawaii. Be sure to come visit me in Hawaii. :-)
