@chipotle nice. My situation is similar, though I've been off (full time, traditional) work for the last 5+ years while raising my daughter. I've enjoyed (very) part time contract work and I can now pick up some more now my daughter's started school... but I can't bear to return to the office. Basically looking for 10 hours /week, working from home. But everyone (in Wellington) assumes the ideal work scenario is full-time. I'd love to expand what I do, so am following your blog with great interest. Good luck!
