[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of thoughts …

1.) Can you request to keep your schedule at 15 hours? That seems a lot more doable than 35, especially when you are piecing together child care and hoping for the best.

2.) Can you scrap this whole idea and get a job in retail, doing evening shifts after your husband gets home? I think the isolated nature of this job you're about to start won't really cure your depression. Getting out of the house and working with nice people might.

I'm not trying to pile on you, but your scenario sounds kind of stressful. [/quote]

OP.

1) I am hoping my schedule stays part time. From the reviews it seems they start you off very part time. Most people were not happy about that but part time would be ideal for me.

2) I really want to work from home and I am actually really excited about this job. My husband is not in a permanent position right now so working from home would be ideal. We could be moving to another state soon. I actually do have a job working at a church in the nursery for 5 hours every Sunday morning. I really like that job because it gives me socialization. I would volunteer if the position were not paid. I am soooo bored out of my mind. I want to do something else. The work from home job is with an airline and the clients can change every 3 or so months. I think it would be fun working for lots of different companies. It could retail one season and change to health care etc. Right now I am trying to focus on doing something else. Once my husband finds a permanent job I could back to school.

If you are bored out of your mind at home and crave adult contact, a WAH job in a closet doesn't seem like it will improve the situation. [/quote]

Some people are happy with call center type of jobs PP. I would much rather work from home then working at a restaurant or Starbucks. OP lives in Florida. I wonder what minimum wage is there? $8 per hour I am guessing.

OP seems like she needs and wants to get out of the house, though, for her own mental health.[/quote]
