[quote=Anonymous]1) Are you part-time, full-time, flexible schedule? Do you ever work from home? How much flexibility do you have? Do you keep 9-5 hours or a different schedule?

I work FT.  Basically 8:00-6:00, sometimes more, sometimes less.  I answer my blackberry at home at night.  I rarely work weekends.  I am not permitted to work from home.  I have some flexibility but not tons -- although they do not look over my shoulder to see if I'm there.  I have a lot of work to do, so I need to work to get it done.

(2) What is your stress level? Are you challenged by your job?

I am stressed and challenged.  We are understaffed so I have been working very hard lately.

(3) Do you feel like you are a better or more "present" parent because of your job?

No.  I feel like I need to be home more.  I'd like to switch but am not sure if my skills are really transferrable.

(4) Are the benefits all that they are hyped up to be?

No.

(5) Do you ever wish that you worked at a firm? Why or why not?

I used to work at a firm.  I hated it.  I like the "mission" of my agency.  I really believe in government service.

(6) Are you happy with your job and home life (and so-called work-life balance)?

No.

(7) Is there anything that you would do differently knowing what you know now?

I would move to a different component with less stress and more flexible hours (but I worry I'd be bored).

BTW, I work for DOJ.[/quote]
