Ok, no, I’m not switching careers and I’m not losing any of my current work. But I thought it was really cool how the part time job I had this past summer has come back again. As you will recall from April through October of last year, I worked part time, outside the home at a local office doing general admin work. I eventually resigned as it was just too much with everything else.
Well, needless to say I left on really good terms and really liked my boss. I wrote about my resignation here. Well, about a month ago, she contacted me about doing some work on their website…I went in met with her and did a couple of hours of work on the site. Well, yesterday I went back in for a second meeting with her and her boss…and now I’m on a small monthly retainer with them to maintain and support their website and social media. Woot, woot!
It’s not a lot of money, but it is regular income I can count on, more than replaces the part time income I was getting last summer and I can do it from home. A giant win all around! And I truly do enjoy working for this boss, I really admire her!
