I have worked part time for years, from home with a flexible schedule - being able to cancel without hassles - has been key.

But finances and the job market what they are, I am forced to go back to work full time. I didn't know I'd be doing this last spring, which is when I took out a loan to go back to grad school. My hope is I won't always be ill, I will continue to feel better, and school will help me be more competitive for the job I want(teaching college, which I do very part time now).

So now I have been offered a full time job - working from home, with some travel. I am excited, I like the organization offering the job - and very worried. I feel like it is a crazy stupid idea, and yet...

My new coworkers seem understanding, but you never know until you test the system. I hate to let anyone down, and it is inevitable that I will one way or another eventually, through no fault of my own (my body's fault, yes, my willpower, no.)

I'm trying to find ways not to stress about what I can't control, and to manage my time as efficiently as possible. But my chronic fatigue remains very real.

How do you cope if you are a full timer?

thanks
