All signs pointed to me getting the job and being right for the job. Then here I am at a semi-rough day, mainly because I am coming down with a cold won't have time to workout, not to mention a messy house. I need time to relax, re energize and definitely don't want to pay the consequences of additional job responsibilities right now. I have a few more days to decide. But right now I am leaning toward NO, just relax. I have always been on the fence on whether I am an ambitious type A or a laid back type B. Today I am Type B. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1471793 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 01:54:31 +0000 Crystal 1471793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how many hours. I work a *lot* of hours in my normal week, so the number of extra hours (even working from home) would need to weigh heavily. </p> <p>Though, I'm leaning towards yes because I'd rather spend my time with my family in a clean home. I figure I can either be "away" from them cleaning, or away from them doing a bit of extra work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1471768 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 01:00:07 +0000 lemondrop 1471768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not, it isn't that big of an effort for me to clean and I would rather spend the time at home than at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1471533 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:56:53 +0000 snowjewelz 1471533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly! That seems like a good trade off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1471082 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:53:51 +0000 LatteLove 1471082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate housework, although I never do it! I would never pay for it, or work extra for it because I'd rather buy new shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459866 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 07:08:18 +0000 MamaMoose 1459866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In general I'm a total saver. But I'm a big believer that having a house cleaner "buys" me less stress in my life and more time with my family and it's worth every penny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459861 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 07:01:27 +0000 808love 1459861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As I wrote the post and thought about the pros and cons, I thought i jumped off the fence into definitely YES. It is a work at home side job. It will help my career a bit and I can do it when LO is sleeping. Because of LOs age, I think doing this temporarily for a year may be worth it. I guess it boils down to all the other things the money could buy (or save) if I were to clean my own house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459828 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 05:36:38 +0000 mediagirl 1459828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. A side job for me wouldn't pay enough for me to lose that time at home. I hate, hate, hate cleaning but I'd rather be home than away from my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459816 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 04:15:07 +0000 Cherrybee 1459816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for me! I love cleaning my house - it's working I don't like!! I'd much rather work less hours and have more time to clean my house!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459694 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 23:43:17 +0000 NurseMommy 1459694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! DH and I are planning on doing this when I go back. I'll have to work an extra 4 hours/month. Totally worth it IMHO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459690 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 23:39:32 +0000 autumnlove 1459690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459675 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 23:31:36 +0000 LindsayInNY 1459675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends how often you're working now and how much more the added work would be.</p> <p>For example, I woke 55+ hours per week. I couldn't take on more without going nuts after some time. If I worked a 40 hour week, it'd be an option to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-work-a-few-extra-hours-a-week-for-a-year-if#post-1459672 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 23:29:39 +0000 808love 1459672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you could get your house cleaned professionally 2X a month?<br /> I have an opportunity for a side job so I'm considering it. I don't like cleaning. </p>
