[QUOTE="dust in the wind, post: 221095, member: 215"] This is an interesting post at this time for me. Minus the kids (we don't have any), that's been my scenario - working 50 to 60 hours a week. bascially on call 24/7/365 for the past 10 years or so. I've lost count of how many times I've had to go in at 11PM to fix something that went down, plus I haven't had a real vacation in as many years too. Vacations are supposed to be time away from work, instead I have ended up dealing with work related items while being on vacation. I'm 45 by the way. It's getting to be a drag. The last 2 years have been absolutely nuts in my life. Changes at work that lead to more work/stress/travel etc... I will say this - I've been able to see some great places in many different states. Plus I've been trying to finish my basement myself. I'm happy to report that I should have most of it done by the end of this month (at least that's my plan). Things have happened at work that I won't get into but an opportunity (I see it as an opportunity - some may not) came along for me to make some changes. It will be interesting to see how it plays out but I will basically be part time with a few benefits. Plus I will be working from home and can set my own schedule. This option was brought up by me and not forced upon me. This starts July 1st for me. I'm not sure how it will work out but I am looking forward to it. [/QUOTE]
