Part Time Job????

July 6th, 2006 at 04:25 pm

My business partners and I (otherwise known as mom and the kids) have been talking about business finances for the winter and have pretty much agreed that the business wont pay employee salaries once we slow down in October...which means that we need to come up with our own income for 4-5 months.

Hmmm...does this mean a part time job for me? I am not sure yet. I know DH and I will have some additional income from the wood business...and hopefully, Anna (my lab) will be having a litter of puppies before the year is done.

One of the issues with me getting a part time job is that I would still need to be home during the day to answer the business phones. We dont get many calls each day, but we still need to answer those that we do.

Which means an evening and/or weekend job. or perhaps DD1 and I can rotate.

I have always worked in banking...never tried anything else. But I would prefer trying something new if I were to venture out part time.

Of course, I will look at the budget and see what we can scale back on first.

I am struggling with this and here is why...DH has been so gracious about me working from home...and I emphasize WORKING because I have been bringing in a weekly paycheck, even if it is a fraction of what I used to make...but I am really not comfortable not bringing in ANY income, when I am capable of doing so.

Hmmm...i guess I have some thinking to do.

Ideas?

    Are you good at cleaning houses? I am not, but I am always looking for a good cleaning lady. They make good money and you could set your own hours. Maybe clean 3 houses a week?? I use to pay $40-50 for someone to clean mine. (about 3 hours)?? The last lady wanted $75 and I thought that a bit high. (so now I don' t have one)

    Wow Ray! We go round and round about this, don't we? Is it absolutely essential? Or can you "survive" 4-5 months without it? Will DH need you to help with his side business in the winter?
    Ideas: library :-), Target (for the discount, although this could end up costing!!), a real estate office ;-), Costco (for free membership), insurance or law perhaps? Just some thoughts, but I hope you don't have to do it! It stinks to have to be somewhere at sometime for someone else that usually doesn't appreciate you anyway, unless you find that rare boss! What about babysitting from home?

    Non-profit maybe? Any non-profit needs at least an accountant, and often they are flexible with your hours.
