It’s been almost 5 years since I left the work force. I was lucky enough to be able to quit and stay home when I had my children. To be honest, I wasn’t exactly heartbroken about leaving my job. I was unhappy being the low guy on the totem pole. But there were elements of the job I did like. The other low-totems, for example. We had a great time. We all tried to stay in touch–and did for a few years– but gradually lost touch.

Now, thanks to a job post on rewardsofworkingfromhome.com, I’ve been hired for a very very very part time job as a court researcher for JBS. I’m actually excited because, though I work for a company, I get to decide when to go, etc. I get paid based on what I do, and I don’t have to deal with people I’d rather not deal with. And I get to see some of the old crowd again.

Another bonus is that I will have to leave my kids with a sitter. I always feel a slight pang of guilt when I admit that I am over-the-top excited about this, but I’m immersed in the kid world so much–I wake up singing Dora the Explorer and sporadically call my husband ‘Kiddo’– that I think it will be good to venture out into the adult world, even if it’s just a couple of hours once a week.

I’m not exactly looking for a career doing this, just a little something to get me out of the house for awhile, but it’s something new to put on my resume when my kids are in school and I’m back in the workforce full-time later on.

Cross your fingers for me. I’m a little nervous, and hoping that it turns out to be fun!
