Macuu222,
Have you thought about doing volunteer work? Find a need that matches your skill set and personal likes and do that for as many hours a week as you want. It can be every bit as satisfying as working for a paycheck and if anyone gives you a hard time you can just walk. There are so many unmet needs here, there has to be something you can find that you would enjoy. The volunteer work I did when my kids were still at home led directly to my current profession, which I love; I never would have even thought of being a teacher if I hadn't been a volunteer coordinator at our neighborhood HS first.
Love your parting message to the boss, my husband worked for a city government for 13 years and says it almost ruined him as a productive person. He gave his supervisor a similar message once we knew we were staying in Hawaii for sure (he was on a leave of absence when we first came).
