You can have a decent job, working with decent people, but it can still depress you. Why? Because you are giving up your freedom - you have no choice about going. Maybe it’s time to follow the white rabbit! Seriously, one of several articles from the past week I thought about highlighting at Mrs. Micah, but this one really hit home for me. Plus, I read it on Monday. (@ Mrs. Micah) [...] [...] Reflecting on Mondays: A slightly mournful little piece, with a great observation.

I'd love to work part-time at a library and part-time from home (sewing or with a telecommuting job or freelancing). It's one of the options I'm seriously considering when Mr. Micah gets fully employed. I loved my time at the library, but it just doesn't pay the bills (especially since the libraries here don't even have you working a full 20 hours for part-time).

I hated that job, and I hated Sunday evenings because it meant the week was about to start again. I quit that job over 4 years ago, and I now work part time from home and part time at a public library. The working at home can be done whenever I want. The library job has set hours, but I've noticed that I never dread going there. I only earn $12/hour, but not having sad Sunday evenings is worth a lot more than money. I've never regretted leaving my fast-track-corporate-job at all. I wish you well, and hope that you find a good balance where going to work (while probably not ever going to be quite as good as free time!) doesn't cause sadness or dread.

Although something different happened today. A manhole cover started exploding and spewing flames and thick smoke into the air near Pennsylvania Ave outside my workplace in DC today. Streets and buildings were shut down. The explosion rumblings were loud. Pretty exciting to watch! -Raymond Another day another dollar…Mondays are just like any other day for me.

I get an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach every Sunday. It's getting worse instead of better. I actually have to fight to enjoy Sunday night instead of just dreading Monday. Usually by the end of the day Monday I feel better. I know how you feel. I get an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach every Sunday. It’s getting worse instead of better.

And my coworkers didn't have problems. I hope yours goes at least as comparatively smoothly. It's nice to hear from others who have snowflaking jobs or do work on their own that they love. :) I actually had a great idea last night for some snowflaking (which I hope to post about later)! It got me very excited, enough to forget about work today. The downside is that I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep until very late and am now exhausted. :p Oh well. It's still a good idea! :) The good news, Laura, is that got all my problems fixed by 11:45. And my coworkers didn’t have problems. I hope yours goes at least as comparatively smoothly.
