My current job, while often quite rewarding and well staffed with great people who I like to work with - has both a long commute and sometimes needs long hours.

When I get home my daughter often REQUIRES that I spend time with her and that can take up much of the evening.

Add to that work on hobby stuff, trying to get in a workout a couple times a week with a buddy, the fact that we now have FOUR conventions a year to run instead of three (now in two different countries as well as four different cities) and there isn't time for anything like as much online as I used to do. Oh, and I actually like to spend time with my wife on those rare occasions we can manage it.

My daughter is most of the reason though. She can be very much a daddy's girl and she cutes me into spending time with her very very easily. Tantrums get her nowhere but a time-out but 'Daddy hug? Daddy puzzle? Daddy Obliv-ee-on?' Work quite a lot.

May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

We have this thing called "a ballot box." Why shouldn't directly elected legislators be re-eligible? *NM* - 25/02/2010 05:50:31 PM 94 Views
