> Why 40 hrs? Try 24-32 and you might find the pace suits you better. This might work for a small org that needs a tech person but can’t support a FT tech person.

How do you find these? I've looked for PT work and everywhere wants FT employees or nothing because they say the marginal cost to them between PT and FT isn't much more (admin, training, office space and health insurance costs are pretty much fixed regardless of hours worked)

I end up leaving because I get burned out, because I don't want to drink the Kool-Aid and that doesn't sit well with management, and because I get bored: companies never do something so amazing that I want to keep doing it a year in. It's interesting in the beginning because you learn how the company works, how the software works, you meet new people, maybe discover a new area of the city where the office is in but all that eventually wears out.
