The Job-Waistline Equation?

Whoa! My last post was dated May 25th! I've been off the blogosphere long enough. Upon visiting Sunny Side Up today, I saw something that made my day a little less sunny: my Comments and Recent Posts RSS are messed up. On the bright side, however, I came back with 3 inches off off my waist! Some people even wonder whether I'm on weight loss patches (they work like nicotine patches except that they help you curb your appetite for food instead of a cigarette). I don't know whether they work or not, as I've not tried them yet. What I do know is that my waistline went from 29 to 26.5 by taking on three jobs.

Teacher by day. Teacher by night.

This June, I started teaching Management at a university in my city. The classes are from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only, but some students are as cooperative and as enthusiastic as glaciers that I have to work my backside off to get them to study and participate in the discussion. So, I guess, if you want to lose a few inches, a monologue and getting your creative juices to gush out (gush not flow) would be in order. Every night, I also teach ESL at an online language academy, and what with the power fluctuations in my city for the last couple of months, the stress should keep the inches at bay.

And an administrator in between.


On days that I don't have classes, there's paperwork to complete, errands to run, bills to pay, and yeah... events to organize at my mom's preschool. My fuchsia Sanrio organizer is simply running out of space, and it's only the 3rd quarter of the year. (Note to self: Since I can't afford a Blackberry--preferably unlocked--just yet, maybe I should just go for the Hello Kitty electronic organizer next year hahaha.)

To sum it all up, pun intended, there could be a job-waistline equation to slimming that is waiting to be deciphered. If I lost 2.5 in with 3 jobs, and my desired waistline is 24, how many more jobs should I take on to get to my desired waistline?

n = no. of jobs you should have = no. of current jobs x (current waistline - desired waistline)
                                                                   (previous waistline - current waistline)

Is your answer also 2.4? This means I should get at least 2 part-time jobs. If my equation and answer is wrong, then that means I should stick to teaching English, because I totally suck at Math.
