[QUOTE="witzend, post: 54250, member: 99"] As you might remember, when I decided to go back to work I had wanted to work near home, one or two days a week, maybe even from home doing office work as needed during flexible hours. I got suckered into working 4 days a week doing insurance work + everything else 25 miles from home 9 - 1 plus the extra half hour or so every day to get through what I started without any extra pay. The boss is not terribly appreciative of my work, but comes up with something new to add to my list every week. I did it for six months, and got her office together from a total wreck to a essentially smooth operation. I told her last Friday that I needed to quit. I explained that it was just too far to drive four times a week. She offered to fill my tank every week. I had offered to continue to do her books for an hourly rate, and she had accepted that - sort of - with no formal agreement. But she really wanted me to keep up with the way things were. I told her it was more time away from home than I wanted, and physically difficult for me to do. She asked if I would work 3 days a week, and work one day at home for the same amount of money. I told her I would think about it. I avoided discussing it with her when she asked me on Wednesday. Thursday I came home, certain that I was going to tell her today that I was not going to stay. A friend of a friend is offering me work 1/2 milr from home, one day a week, books only, for the same monthly pay she's giving me. I said yes and I start on Wednesday. I couldn't tell her today. I have to do it on Monday, and I know she will be busy. I'll set her up so that whoever she hires will have an idea of what she wants. Which is a heck of a lot more than I had when I started. If I get the nerve, that is... [/QUOTE]
