Winding down on overtime

Back in March I was talking about how tired I was because of overtime. I have been working overtime to get enough for a 3.5% down payment on the house that I want to purchase next year. My account is $50 short as of today but by this Saturday it will be at the full amount.

I'm also trying to raise my regular savings and that's pretty much what I'm working on now. I just paid off my car, in anticipation of buying a home next year, so I'm putting that money in savings. Unfortunately once I do buy my home, the car money will be used for monthly expenses. My rent is insanely cheap and there is no way I'm going to get a mortgage for that low of an amount. I also don't pay gas or water/sewage right now so those will increase my budget for sure.

I had planned on getting a second job just before overtime became available but this has really been much better for me. A second job would have been less money and way more hours so I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. My boss has been hinting that the overtime train might stop in June so I'm just going to keep chugging along and get what I can before it stops. I haven't really gone all out on overtime because the one time that I did I was almost catatonic the next week. The worse part, at least for me, was that I was really trying to help out and not trying to pad my check.

I may not get any more overtime after June, but at least I will have the bulk of summer to myself which will be nice!

Hey that voice sounds familiar

Have you ever listened to the radio and heard a voice that sounded familiar? It probably is a person that you know that has gotten a job doing voice overs. Don't know exactly what voice actors do? They help pitch products, ideas, contests, and businesses.

This would be the ideal job for someone like me that loves to talk. Especially since I wouldn't have to actually talk to anyone, I could just yammer on to no one in particular. The 60 second pitch is now giving away prizes. I wonder if I could use this as a way to drive people to my website. I know it would be cool to be on the radio. As long as they don't ask me to sing. That would be horrible and get me a lifetime ban.
