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.

Awesome Career

This guy started with building paper models out of a box when he was 8. After a few boxes he kept building paper models but now his own design. Nice hobby. Until he build the Infinity Red Bull RB7 and short after started a blog. Now he works for Redbull, no ... not with paper.

It's So Nice Being A Woman

'Women Are Teachable' ... 1940s. Weird, as if women are species from another planet.

New Job - Glow Images Benelux

It has been 3 days already that I'm working for Glow Images Benelux. It seems longer ... in a positive way. Setting up a Twitter account. Setting up a Facebook Fanpage. Setting up a blog. Contacting clients. Getting to know the website. Email account, backoffice, translations, technical problems that need to be solved together with terrific collegues in the States. In short: I like!

Safety Video

I'm getting in a bad mood. Two in a row. I don't even know where to start with this one. Bad music, bad acting, and look at the texts, the typography.

Jason Fried 'Work'

Jason Fried has a radical theory of working: that the office isn't a good place to do it.
