Re: Overemployment

Yes, it is possible to be over-employed and yet not work excessive hours. As a consultant I structure my contracts and billing accordingly so that the regular client is billed for the 9-5 contract, but I am available on retention to deal with ad-hoc jobs with the other clients who don't feel the need to sign me up. This means they pay "rack rates" for any work or advice, so ~1.5 times what the 9-5 client does. That adds up over a month with say one 9-5 and 3 or 4 adhocs who regularly contact me for work.
Not available to every industry I understand, but it's an example of how you can structure things without the secrecy.
