I am generally known in best terms as "energetic" and "up-beat," but the fact that I am writing this blog post at midnight on a Tuesday will testify that these days I am what some would politely called "stretched thin."
Work/Life balance hasn't really been in issue for me, since I was and the typically student that went off to college for four years and did the whole campus thing full time. Of course I had a little part time job at the school newspaper, but that would never get in the way having fun...err...I mean studying.
Well, here I am yet again, exhausted at midnight, trying to complete my coursework for the master program I dropped everything for to move up here and pursue. And, yes, since I have been working full time now for quite a while I told myself I would just do that too. No one told me how difficult this would be.
However, I read this article on NPR tonight that gave me a little hope about the work/life balance some employers are offering their employees. It speaks to the needs of the modern family when it comes to deciding how much time you're really willing to spend at the office...or maybe at school...when you have a lot of other stuff on your plate, like family and school.
Anyways, check it out. I promise I'll write a more enthralling blog post next time, but until then...
Keep it Classy :)
Work in tee minus 7 hours, 49 minutes, 32 seconds and counting...
