[quote=Anonymous]I love my job--very specialized career I trained for during a long bout in grad school. even though it doesn't pay a lot it is enriching and interesting. BUT, its not flexible and its stressful right now--although I do leave at 5 daily, I work a ton on weekends and nights. i am working today, instead of taking kids to holiday parties, I work every night after kids are in bed, and I am taking my work with me over our 5 day xmas break to see family. I feel constantly under stress and feel like I am missing watching my baby grow up. I have a huge year in front of me--tons of work, and also opportunities for achievements--but my plan is that next year, when I've accomplished all of this, I negotiate for more flexible schedule--which is not even working less, which is getting my dept to hire more people or reduce the number of projects we take on. Its totally insane right now and my supervisor works 24/7 but has no family around (kids grown). I do not want to be like that. [/quote]
