[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for the Federal Government, have been at same place for ten years so have built up some credibility and no longer have to prove myself. I am bored but can't pursue something new at this time so just make the best of it. I work part time and from home twice a week. I use FMLA (DH has ASD diagnosis).[/quote] I also work for the Federal Government (State Dept). For a few years I did a jobshare. But I've been back full time for two years already. We have an after school nanny. I also use FMLA, whiCh I invoke intermittently for a child with ASD. I'm surrounded by smart people and work on interesting, meaningful issues, so I have not given up my career. That said, i rarely travel overseas, despite the numerous opportunities and the fact that it would be career advantageous. And I "clock out" at 5 pm. So let's just say I'm not rising through the ranks as I once thought I would be. But those are the choices we make.[/quote]
