And she said "Of course it's my business. I'm willing to do it either way, but I've got to make a living too. If it's only part-time, I want to see what I can do about other work to supplement this job (My immediate boss, is OK with it; and of course this pre-existing commitment will come first). So do you want me full-time or part-time? "
