I have decided to resign from my full-time position as a hospital administrator and try the mommy track for a while. I was depressed for about a week, losing sleep, worrying at all hours of the day and night about all kinds of things, but especially that I now have no excuse as to why I'm unable to parent my child appropriately. The option of "You're the way you are because your mother was too busy with her career and didn't spend enough time with you" no longer exists. I am more apprehensive than when I normally take a new job.
Now that the initial reaction has worn off and I am left wondering how I'm going to structure my days, I find myself thinking about finding a little gig that allows me to work very little, but pay me lots of money to spend at Janie & Jack's. I know my sister has thought about this, so I'm assuming there are other mothers out there, too, who at times wonder if they couldn't find a little part-time gig somewhere.
Well, guess what? I came across such a job. A flirt coach! I belong to LinkedIn, a professional online network. On a random search, I came across this person who is a professional flirt coach in Great Britain. She is a professional life coach (with no formal education or credentials as far as I can tell) who counsels people on how to flirt to get ahead in personal and professional life. I can do that! And I have 20 years of dating experience to contribute!
So, just in case anybody out there needs some flirting advice AND want to pay me for it.... I'm your gal! (Or I badly want to be, anyway.)
