Not sure if this qualifies as piecing or not...

I am in no way a position to be offering marriage advice and haven't read your entire thread.

Heh. You think I'm qualified?

I am just guessing that if your W is have a tough time at work, maybe she is missing the comfort you provide eachother as well.

I actually do ask her about her work. It's very stressful right now, as their company has announced a voluntary recall of some of their products. This has brought every crazy person out of the woodwork, and their call volume has doubled.

My job isn't too bad right now -- despite the written warning on Friday, I got quite a bit done on my open customer interactions. My biggest problem with my job is the commute, coupled with the slim prospects of a raise at the next review period (which has little to do with the incident on Friday; we did not get any merit-based pay increase in 2009, and it's not known if there will be one this year either.

BTW - Have you been doing your homework?

I think I have been; is there something that I'm forgetting?
