Clocking In & Out

Working for myself for so many years now already, I actually forgot what it is like to keep to strict working hours. I now enjoy such time flexibility in my work that I know that I would not want to give it up. It is going to be difficult to find employment with my own hours and at the same time offer the same level of job satisfaction as I am enjoying now.

I told a friend that I may seek employment in the capital city in a few months' time just for a change of environment and to create an opportunity for me to live in the city. I could still continue with my online selling business since I could do it wherever I am as long as I have access to the internet.

My friend warns that my major problem would be tuning my body clock. She knows that working for myself, I work best at night and usually stay up till the wee hours of the morning. If I were to take up an office job, for example, I would have to clock in at eight sharp. I wouldn't be able to sleep in as and when I like because all companies Track Time And Attendance of employees.

Changing my work hours is a problem, I agree, but I also know that being out of the rat race for so many years already, I have lost my competitive edge. I may even have to start from the bottom again unless I go back to school for refreshers course or something.
