Was selfemployed for 15 years
now I do sales and retail, nice to not have to think and fight for every contract, you made to be be held accoutable when getting paid.
Well,I'm retired, I worked for almost 30 years as an equipment operator for the largest park system in the state of Maryland prior to that I did some time in the U.S.Navy ( former Navy SEAL) and before going into the U.S.Navy, I learn how to be a brick layer, even became a master at it, learned it from my father at an early age. Now that I'm retired, I have a woodshop and that's just to keep me busy, keeps me out of trouble with my wife, it's a hobby.
For me it's the best situation I've ever been in. I still get my monthly pension check and they're paying me more money than I ever made when I was a regular employee. Also, there's no commute, I just walk into the next room. There's more people doing this all the time and there's companies that get work for them. I actually get paid by a company called Snelling Personnel even though I'm working with my old coworkers via the internet who I've known and worked with for years. If you have a marketable skill it can be done. By the way, it says below your name you live in Kansas City but you're wanting to leave. Where do you want to go? Just curious.
I work for a small but quickly growing water utility and the best part is the office is here at my home. SO, I work from home and enjoy it tremendously. Been doing this for right at 10 years. Before that I worked as a personnel manager for a temp company, and enjoyed the fast pace and travel I did.
I have been a librarian, babysitter, parcel post carrier, and secretary in an insurance company and an oil company.
My best job has been mother to my two boys and wife to a great man to whom I have been married to for 26 years.
I am a writer and editor...and for the record, I HATE working from home. I'm sure I'm the only person on earth who feels this way. I miss getting "out there"...I miss it terribly.
You're not the only person who feels this way. I work in a neurology clinic and a couple of my co-workers swear they will never work from home again. They just don't like it.
As for me, I sometimes miss being able to work from home. It was isolating at times, especially when I lived way out in the county, but I had a terrible time of separating "work" from "home." If I was "working" I felt I should be doing housework, yard work, etc. If I was "off" I felt I should be working.
Forgot to add in my previous post what I do - medical transcriptionist for a busy neurology clinic. I work in-house.
I used to work at home for several years and wouldn't go back to working at home as a transcriptionist unless I didn't have to deal with an ever changing schedule, national services, and production pay that keeps dropping.
Blessings,
pnc
