Well, maybe not in the sense you are thinking…but YES when it comes to work at home jobs!

This Valentine’s Day I wanted to stop and think about our relationships with Working at Home. After putting things into perspective, I realize I am, or rather WAS, a bit of a Work at Home Floozy!

When I first began looking for a Work at Home Job, I was not really searching for anything long term, not wanting a committed relationship but something that could satisfy my temporary needs. I just had a baby and I needed some more support.

I dated around a bit, played footsie with ChaCha and Survey Sites. However, things got a little more serious when I met LiveOps. My relationship with LiveOps lasted a couple of years but I must admit- I was never truly happy. I was constantly seeking other, more compatible Work at Home Jobs. After being stood up too many times by LiveOps and being left waiting by the phone for a ring that never came, I said goodbye. So hard to let go of something that begins to feel comfortable, even when you know it is just not the right one.

My search for a better work at home job continued. I speed dated with writing sites and played the field with some low wage, good for nothing companies. Why did I even bother?

I thought I met the right one when I heard about TQA with Demand Media. I should have known it was too perfect. I often felt I was taking advantage of TQA, working only when I wanted, receiving more than I really gave.. Things were getting really steady between TQA and I when out of nowhere they dumped me. Left me in the cold. I was so devastated. I hated the feeling of rejection.

But I did like any other strong gal would do and I picked myself up and jumped right into a relationship with Leapforce, it may have been my rebound but it worked. I was quickly over TQA!

But the connection was missing, once again.

I finally met Freelance Web Design and we fell in love. I have never been more sure of something than my relationship with this Home Based Job!!!
This is a long term commitment. In fact, I have been thinking of marriage with this one! Now when I see other attractive Work at Home jobs, I don’t even bother. I know I have found the one for me!

Love it, Miranda. Happy Valentine’s Day to you. Cute post with a play on words! I’m glad you met the ONE (freelance web design).

Me? I guess I just can’t be a one-client woman. Still playing the field, juggling them all. LOL

Haha Leisa. Settling down may not be for everyone 😉

Haha, love the metaphor! I dated West for awhile but found that LiveOps was a better fit for me. We’re 4 years going strong now…and last year they asked me to join their Auditing team too! I keep in touch with several freelance and mystery shopping companies (never one to burn bridges unless it was absolutely necessary), but for the most part I’m in a long term Lopper relationship!

I too once dated West. It was very very short lived. They did not like my location, being in Indiana, and dropped me.

I keep a few options in my black book still, I just did a recent Mystery Shop and check in on other WAH jobs where I have accounts from time to time. But I think that will fade as my relationship grows stronger with Web Design.

🙂 this is fun hehe

LOL Silly girl. I’m glad you finally found something to settle down with. It sure makes things a lot less stressful when you don’t have to worry about impressing potential suitors anymore.

Thanks Angie:) It does relieve a lot of stress when you feel satisfied enough to stop looking for the next best thing. … now its just so I can write about it on the blog lol

I agree with what you said about Demand. It did feel too good to be true. I always hoped they were “the one” although I often had my doubts. I’m curious if you’d mind sharing what you do for Freelance Web Design and if there’s opportunities for the rest of us.
