    Wife got a new job!

    My wife was working from home for an online start-up company...she made $10/hour and was salary at 40 hours per week (~20k/year + 15k in stock options, which she'll never see ). The company was run horribly and for the past few months she's had to put in 60 hours per week (no overtime or addtl. pay) resulting from the whims and misdirection of the owner. She finally decided to quit effective May 31st because I and the kids basically never saw her...she was chained to the computer and was working from 8:30 to 10pm(+) every night!

    8 days later she's got a new job....5 hours per week and about a full day/month blogging (which she enjoys). With the increase in the hourly rate at the new job she'll be looking at ~$9,500/year.

    FREAKING AWESOME! I'm really happy for her and getting back to a normal home life! 5 hours per week is nothing compared to what she was putting in before. Plus, there's room to grow if she decides she wants more hours and can also work ad hoc contracts if she feels like it.
