I know that I want to do something different with my career. Something that truly inspires me. Something I feel passionate about. And I want to do this PART TIME so I can actually spend some time with my daughter and husband...and friends for that matter. I think working part time is the new holy grail for 8-5 working moms.
I really don't understand why more companies don't offer flex time for salaried employees. I can guarantee that they would retain more loyal, happy employees. Especially employees who happen to be moms. If we are getting our work done, are available for calls and meetings and occasionally taking the initiative for other projects then who cares if we work 9-2 one day and 10-6 another day? With technology being what it is today, it is very possible to be available anywhere and everywhere.
Anyway, that being said I am ready to do something different. I would like to take my business savvy and marketing skills to work for something really fun. I see so many possibilities. I have so many interests...the environment, travel, fashion (eco-friendly recently!), baby stuff, local businesses, music, writing, art, throwing events and parties, politics and activism. I want to learn how to sew and knit. I want to create my own stuff. I am just bursting with ideas but no time to do them.
If we hadn't gotten ourselves into so much debt, I could do this right now. We are on the Dave Ramsey plan...baby step 2...although Christmas has totally thrown me off. Dave would be VERY disappointed. Anyway, with the plan I have it will take us 2 years to pay everything off. Sigh. So that's 2 more years in corporate office blah land. C'est la vie, I guess.
