[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work 8:30-1:00 Mon-Fri as a legal receptionist.  It's not intellectual at all (I have a Master's degree from the London School of Economics) but at least it does let me be there to pick up my kids from school and be there for extracurriculars and homework.  It also enables me to be around adults at least part of the day - I appreciate this quite a bit.  [/quote]

How did you find that job?  That sounds perfect.[/quote]

Well, one of the attorneys had kids who went to the school at which my mom was a teacher.  We have known the family for years.  One time, the dad mentioned to my dad at church, "I know your daughters would be over-qualified for this, but would anyone be interested in ____?  We are looking for a receptionist."  My dad knew I was looking to "downsize" from my previous "real job" and mentioned me.  It actually started out as full-time, and I did it full-time for a few years (with my 1st child in fulltime daycare) but when she was moving to K, I looked ahead and thought I'd want to be home more as she got older and in real school, so I could be home for homework and extracurriculars.  I proposed a job-share arrangement, having already found a girl who would want to share the afternoon hours.  My boss agreed to try it on a trial basis and it's worked out for about 3 years now.  So, I kind of just created it.  :/[/quote]
