Work at Home..... True or False

I have been fortunate enough to land a legitimate work from home job. I have an extensive background in Customer Service, Data Entry and Administrative Duties. My experience in the work world has also been with highly time sensitive, organizationally based business. Meaning the more efficient and time friendly a project or task got done the more money the company made.

Who knew! So with that being said, when I went back to school few years ago I was looking for a job that would fit in to my school schedule and allow me to be home to take care of my son. Money really wasn't an issue I just needed to make sure I could afford to have transportation, lunch money and some pocket money for my son. Well I landed a job at an Internet company. Customer Service on-site at first, and I loved it.

I ended up working there for about 2 years. I stayed friends with the manager and the assistant manager, not for any other reason then the simple fact that they were DOPE.

Recently  I contacted my friend to inquire about possibly going back to work there part time. I LOVE being a stay at home mom, but I am starting to feel the end of summer blues. Where I know I will only be going outside to bring my middle son to school and pick him up from school. Long gone are the days of lazily lounging around the parks in my neighborhood, soaking up the suns heat deep down into my bones. Long gone are the days of just walking ... anywhere... gone are also the days of daily adult conversations.

So I took a leap, contacted her and within a day or two she offered me the opportunity to either come back into the office for one price or work from home at a cheaper rate. I jumped on working from home (babysitters can be expensive), I knew it was the right move, especially after she finished her sentence, by saying working from home you can still opt to be on the on-site schedule 1-2 days a week!! CHA CHING!

So I am here to tell you that legit work from home opportunites are available. And I am also going to tell you, that as of today I have been looking into other work at home companies.

Today I applied to 1-800-FLOWERS, and am scheduled to have a phone interview this coming Oct 24th. I can't wait to see how that goes. I have read that they pay $9 an hour, part-timer (that's what I am looking for) you can work up to 10 hours a week. There working hours to me are amazing (I'm hoping I get to choose my hours) are from 6am - 2am! Who cannot fit 10 hours into that time frame.

I am also looking into some other work from home websites, I'll keep you guys updated on my process and paychecks.
