I have been lucky enough to find work online as an independent contractor. I suppose that's as independent as one can get, huh? However, there was a time when I had to put on scrubs and a lab coat and go to work every day. I actually miss those days.
It's very nice to sit here and work and still be able to be with my kids. It's nice to be able to make my own hours and even though I do have to answer to someone, I don't have to face to face. There is no one watching over my shoulder, so to speak. However, the personal interaction a workplace can give is something I have been missing more and more lately. I'm not sure why?Now that I have a new position for the company I currently do work for, I am more interactive with the other people I work with but it's still just not the same! If you want to work from home, this is definitely something you should consider - are you okay with no socialization?
Then there's the stress of working from home - I think I had a mental breakdown the other day! Seriously, I think I did....I posted about it HERE I seriously work about 8 -10 hours a day- EVERY day. Not straight through though. It's a few hours here and a few hours there. I was up at 6 am yesterday and by 11 pm I finally called it a night. However, because I am home and have other responsibilities I have to constantly stop working to do other things and take care of the kids, etc... The extra $ a month is nice though!However, I need a vacation! Oh wait - we leave TOMORROW!
