VP Kamala Harris could become the first US president to have worked at McDonald’s.
Is this relevant? Or is it a sign that most US presidents never needed to earn their own money when they were young?

Women working full-time - part-time, it's never okay
According to a recent study dutch women work part-time, even if they don't have kids.
So what!
Live and let live.
There are women who work less by own choice and take less salary for granted.
There are women who work freelance.
There are women who want to be a stay home mother (which is a job also).
There are women who want to get married and stay home.
I am a single mother. From I guess age 15 I work. Until I got my daughter I worked 5 days a week. After I got my daughter I worked for a couple of years 4 day a week, than 4,5 days a week or 5 days a week. Do I want this? No I have to. We need the money.
On one hand women who work part-time by own choice get a lot of criticism: they are lazy, they are spoiled.
On the other hand I have to defend myself constantly because I work full-time: I pity your daughter, you're never available for her.

I'm Back & I'm Looking For ...
I'm back ... back in Amsterdam (yeah!) and back on SylK's Playground. Finally. Three months homeless and now living between boxes. Waiting for quote contractor, waiting already for almost 2 weeks. But happy being back in Amsterdam in the awesome hood named BoLo.
Story of my life, all things happen at the same time. Ah well, if you live and make decisions shit happens. So I'm looking for a new challenge as they always say on LinkedIn. Or more straightforward, I'm looking for a job / project / freelance / permanent / part-time / fulltime, as long as it pays. The company I work for is reorganizing, last in - first out.
You're wondering probably "... a job ... I want to help ... but what kind of job?". So here we go: image research and / or negotiation, photography, workshop 'How To Deal With (Stock) Photography', sales, account management, social media. But anything will do, as long as it pays the bills.
Thanks for looking into this matter.

New Job
Can you imagine me, single mother, 52ys old accepting a new job, a new challenge?! Well, that's what happened. I'm starting August 1st.
Yesterday I came home and my 13y old daughter, Micky Puck, was painting. I asked her for whom she did that. She just said without looking at me: for you. So I left her with her painting. After a while she came into the kitchen and told me the painting was finished so I could take a look at it. The front was a standard cute dog and cat painting, but I was really surprised by the text on the back. She made it because of my new job.
A couple of weeks ago, when I was still struggling about yes or no, we were talking about it in the car. I was driving, she was playing with her Nintendo DS. Suddenly she said to me, without looking at me, just playing along with her Nintendo ... 'Mum, you always told me that when you are given an opportunity, you will have to take it, otherwise you're going to regret it'. Right back in the face!
That's what I needed. Everybody telling me, including my sensible self, 'you are alone with a child', 'you have a steady job' ... Now I'm going to a job which isn't steady at all, it is a big risk, with more freedom ... I think I give a better example to my daughter this way.
front side of the present of my daughter:
back side of the present of my daughter, it says "for mum. from Micky. Congratulations with your job, I'm proud of our choice, you can do it"
Saturday last week a friend came by, Helma, and her friend Robert. They brought me this plant with a label hanging on it: "We're proud of you"
This says it all. I've made the right decission, even when it fails.
