So I'd actually had most of a year off to recuperate, re-organize, have a baby and test the
job market waters. What I wanted was a job that used my professional skills and yet was
part-time, to help me keep the health I'd regained. What a pipe-dream! Companies that [Liz in
Singapore] would have gladly recruited me full-time just tossed my resume into the nearest
recycle bin. The nicer ones told me to go out and find someone else with identical skills who
wanted to job-share a full-time job and they would be willing to consider the possibility. Not
bloody likely.

My wife has been going through this lately with trying to get a career going that would allow
her to have flexible time.. and that has been pretty much the experience. Sigh.
