It is taking me quite a while to get here — and I'm not completely retired — I have a really cool part time job.<\/p>\n
I'm still working for Johns Hopkins — I've been with them over a year and in fact am taking my first vacation from them — will have a sub for three days. I teach 5 courses for them:<\/p>\n
It's interesting — most of the time I average about an hour a day but it is seven days a week. In the summer it frequently went up to 5 hours a day, but not every day. <\/p>\n
I have one web client who I host and do her web design for her. I also consult with her on a regular basis on the best way to do her business with a computer.<\/p>\n
I have another client who swears she needs help with a web site I set up for her a couple of summers ago, but she updates it just fine.<\/p>\n
I also do computer stuff for a non-profit — we raise money for beagle rescue. That's been a lot of fun and I recently did a project for them that was fun, I'll do again, but would do it a lot differently.<\/p>\n
I'm doing very little face to face tutoring. In fact, I've turned the inactive flag on and I'm really only working with one student – but I think she's coming to the same place I am.<\/p>\n
A lot of my recent experiences have shown me what not to do.<\/p>\n
My last paid gig was working on a mobile payment app which I loved the work, but not the people so much. I've done quite a few job interviews since and I'm completely over that.<\/p>\n
That whole job interview stress thing is why I'm not into the face-to-face tutoring — that whole getting to know new people and trying to please them — yeah, I'm over wanting to do that. <\/p>\n
I'm also not into teaching people I don't know for free. Tried that one day but the biggest problem with that was the person I was working with was too controlling. Seriously: someone who hasn't gone to one college class is trying to tell a person with a master's degree in education and 20+ years of experience how and what to do? <\/p>\n
I'm certainly into working with someone I know to set up a website they can update. I'm even into do a flat page thing and hosting it, like I do for the one client. But doing that full time, not really into that at all. If I know you and you want to learn something from me — hey, ask, I'll probably make the time and probably won't even charge.<\/p>\n
My next explorations include learning how to do Windows 10 things and how to do mobile responsive websites, starting with my own. <\/p>\n
And teaching for Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
