Yes, I was a teacher, and I have subbed, but that is worse than teaching except for grading papers at home. I'm also an abstractor/landman, but again that's not a part time job. I don't have to work though dh says I seem happier when I'm working. I would like to fund this rather expensive hobby myself rather than taking it out of our monthly budget. Plus, it would be nice to talk to people, other than dh & the cat. Or myself. I find myself talking out loud a lot. I have volunteered at our local food pantry and library, and it seems to tick off dh that I give away time without getting anything out of it.
