I would love to share me life learned skills with your team and learn new ones. After working at one location for so long I would love to spend some of my free time some where else so my life is not all about one place. I have a rotating Thursday, Friday and Monday off schedule during the week and all federal holidays from my main job. I hope I can join your team as a part time worker.
