More than one thing?
Work at home?
Seasonal work? FT, PT, variable, on call, hourly?
Are you doing what you wanted to do? Would you prefer some other line of work?

I teach English in college/university during the fall and spring semesters. I do not teach during winter or summer, by choice. I also score assessment test essays as needed, throughout the year. (If you ever want to see some really goofy sentences, I would be happy to post them. Just think of Richard Lederer's Anguished English collections.) :laugh:
I also sell a bunch of crap on eBay. Sorry, but there's no better word choice. And I proofread and edit as a freelancer. I also write short fiction stories, hence my very obvious username.
Sometimes I think I'd like to chuck the teaching gig once and for all, since I have been PT for lo these many years, and go join the Peace Corps or something.

We run a small farm, and I work part time at a company in town.
hmmm....I think I am pretty happy with my life.

I'm a public servant with the New South Wales Health Department, working in the Executive Unit of a large teaching hospital here in Sydney, Australia.
More than one thing?
No.
Work at home?
No.

No.
FT, PT, variable, on call, hourly?
Full-time, 9-5.
Are you doing what you wanted to do?
No (see below).
Would you prefer some other line of work?
I'd prefer to be earning my living from painting, but there's no money in the arts (unless you're kissing the arse of some rich gallery owner), so I've settled for being a Sunday painter, and a dreary ol' public servant during the week. That way I get to retain my dignity - and eat and keep a roof over my head too! ;) :D

I'm a mommy. Finally. It's my heart's desire. I quit the other stuff to do this. I don't get paid. I am living on a combination of husband's salary, savings, and not buying stuff much. Believe it or not, turns out it's harder than the stuff I got paid to do! :)

I´m a mommy, too.

Same here.
I´ll start working in September (I´m a midwife), when my little cowboy is going to Kindergarten.
