I hear you Limbo. And thanks for the encouragement. It is a difficult process. I am going to get over to your thread and check in with you, I feel like I have been pretty selfish the last few days, but it has just been such a whirlwind so I feel like I barely have any time to catch my breath.
I am not going to push her to go to C, I just want to help her if she hasn't found anyone. If she hasn't I am just going to say that I have a couple of names that were given to me from people that thought they could help the situation.
I have been thinking about a career change. I know this is not the best time to be making any major decisions, but I have realized that I chose the path I took to ensure that my W would always live a comfortable life and would be able to have just about anything that she wanted (within reason). Well, all the while I have been completely unhappy every day going to work. It does not make sense for me to continue doing this if there really is not a reason to. On top of this, the firm I am at recently went through a major split and some of the firm went separate ways. It just so happens that I was hired a few months after the split and they made a slight (understatement)miscalculation on how much work in my area of expertise that they would be retaining. Well, it turns out they have a lot less than they thought they would. Which makes billable hours very difficult. I just don't think that I should be making sacrifices for anyone but myself anymore. Normally, I would be talking to my W about this. I know that is not such a great idea. I just feel like I have nobody to talk to about this. I am sure if I was a little bit more busy (ok actually alot more busy) I would not be so unhappy with my work. But, I am not busy and I am unhappy with my work. What to do?
