Fascinating to read what everyone does. Maybe there's no such thing as an Ish job, but more an Ish attitude to whatever job you do....?
I've done many different things over the years, and used to see this as a problem, but now I feel much more positive about being able to use different aspects of myself at different times.
I currently have a mixed week. I work three days a week as an admin officer in a school for students with profound and multiple learning difficulties. I am fortunate to work with some other people interested in environmental issues - the student curriculum includes recycling and gardening - and I can have some small impact because I can recycle office papers, turn off lights and office machinery, try to order environmentally-friendly products etc. I spend about one day a week making felt, which is my passion (some art pieces, some accessories to sell). And I've just started doing a sensory story-telling workshop one morning a week too, for young adults with pmld - I get a budget for resources, so hope I can use reclaimed and reused materials wherever possible.
I think I am very lucky to be able to work at things I find sympathetic and fulfilling. But How can i persuade my partner to be a bit more ISH....?!
