Working Two or More Jobs... GO or NO?!!!

Working two or more jobs... go or no?!!! Simple question here for the community. Putting it out here as I know that there are those who have two or more jobs or who previously worked two or more jobs. I'm not talking about free lancing, on-line work, or stay at home based jobs or what ever crazy multi-level marketing ploy out there but actual jobs. As in jobs that required you to be at a certain place, let's say an office down south, at a specific time, let's say between 8:00 am to 3:00 pm and then afterwards, you need to be at another office, let's say further up north, at a specific time, 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm working on a different job for a different employer. I would assume one is a full-time job while another is a part-time job or perhaps both are full-time jobs but with very limited and shortened hours. Just want to get an insight on how the hours are like? How pay was like? How your social life was like? Were you able to attend two different office Christmas parties and get the same set of corporate give-away baskets? LOL! You get my drift. Write your experiences, your triumphs, and sorrows as I myself am going crazy and actually looking to see if it is indeed feasible to hold two different jobs here in my country. I read an article the other day about companies being asked to provide something of a shortened work schedule to accommodate the workforce so there is no need to cut out employees and resort to lay-offs. I was close to holding two jobs back when I had a consultancy job handling the social media team of a telecom network. The work was so crazy, I was drinking every night after shift in a nearby bar. I was often there that I was mistaken to be a part owner of the bar. Long story short, the sister of the owner of the bar as me to handle the bar's social media accounts as well. I would have accepted but the work hours in the first job was shifting and I couldn't count on the manager that I was reporting to to give me a fixed schedule. So that was that.
