[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a lawyer who worked at a small non-profit on Pennsylvania Ave. during 9/11.  I worked the next day and every weekday after.  I do not think that having to work makes it a "bad law job" or any kind of bad job.  Thaw country, from garage workers and retail through government and private sector kept working.  Unless your family, workplace, or mode of transportation was directly impacted, what is the problem with continuing to work.[/quote]
Some people see this a a loss of perspective. And you can't see it if you've lost it. What works for you isn't universal for sure. [/quote]

I don't see it as a loss of perspective. Its always struck me as stranger when people cite a major event as the "moment" that they realized their life needs dramatic re-balancing. Did it really take a major terrorist event to make it apparent that spending time with loved ones is important? To each his or her own, but I find it moderately annoying when someone who's had this sort of epiphany acts as though they've realized something all the other drones haven't, and therefore others have lost perspective. All you know, from your experience, is that at some point you lost perspective and somehow refound it. Perhaps others never missed the point to begin with, and are simply comfortable and happy with how they've balanced their lives.[/quote]
And you're certainly entitled to your point of view.  Just as I am. No need to be "moderately annoyed."  [/quote]
