Aaaaah parenthood… The great leveler of professionals

dougrogers, Yes that was a real question!
Mind you, they’ve worked very hard to get where they are today, so every penny counts… and hurts!

That is so funny. The grin is eating my ears.

I used to do this kind of lifestyle as well: full-time IT job, plus side-business consulting. Now that I am new father, I had to finally close my side business which actually was kind of a relief. For the amount of time I put into it, I wasn’t getting much out of the side-business and it was eating into “family time” and “me time”. Also, with more rest, I’ve found I could focus on my full-time job better, which will likely pan out in the future.

Wishing you plenty of sleep.

The IT job involes a ton of tech-support stuff, so I get emails like :
“How do I send an email to my email?”
… And …
“Why do you need two computers to run a web site?”

And the sys-admin job allows me to answer questions like :
“This wasn’t water-proof, was it?”
… And …
“I hate wires! I don’t want to see these wires!! Can you set this up so you don’t have to use any wires at all?”

The thing is that I really like the people I work with and they’re nice people (usually… but only after 11am).

Though sometimes, it gets to be a wee bit tiring.

Eksith: how many jobs do you work?

Sadly, my sleep hour(s) involve them being crammed somewhere between work hours.

On the plus side, there are parts of my work that I’ve managed to turn into a form of meditation.

Eat when you’re hungry, Sleep when you’re tired.

Wash your bowl.
