DnJ - here's an idea for your after you retire - write a book! It would be lovely to have more people to get to experience your wisdom.
Thanks for the perspective of value - if I'm kept busy with more and more work, I guess it means I'm not useless lol.
may - It's kind of hard to tell right now as I've only had little time to dip my toes into different areas of my work. So far I can only say that I enjoy working with people. but I dislike logistics. But doing the logistics lead me to interacting with people. So I guess it's not so bad?
I think I'm alarmed because I've been a SAHM for so long. and all the sudden work has now taken over my life (time wise). I've dreamed about work!! (gasp) , so it all feels very odd to me. I've also gotten invited to join Fri after work outings with colleagues, which I actively try to participate (even though most of the time I just want to go home and spend time with the kids.) I think the thought of myself possibly could focus too much on pursuing my career/having a life outside of kids is a bit scary to me. I can do it because I feel they're in good hands with my parents' help. Am I making sense here? Do men think about this? or are we gals the only ones stuck with having to figure out how to balance work and kids? lol.
DnJ, again, thank you for your comments. Integrity and values, when I feel lost and not sure of the path forward, I at least know that living by these two things will serve me well.
