It's hard to make these decisions, especially when there are so many unknown variables.<BR/><BR/>I think doing something different could be a good, especially if it was something that left more time for your hubby...sound like he misses you :-)Jessica Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801308494220195403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998417064636496648.post-49130563668499904012008-11-14T21:49:00.000-05:002008-11-14T21:49:00.000-05:00I have a very close-knit group of friends at work ...I have a very close-knit group of friends at work so it is pretty common for us to go out together. Hubby doesn't mind but it could be because he knows them all very well also and often hangs out with us.<BR/><BR/>You say you love your job (and I believe you) but something says to me you are ready to try something a little different. I think your Type A would like a new challenge. It is hard to be so passionate about your job and still have room for relationships. It's tough - be careful.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509124764568535676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998417064636496648.post-22580498876012994142008-11-14T18:19:00.000-05:002008-11-14T18:19:00.000-05:00I think that maybe you can find another job that y...I think that maybe you can find another job that you love that give you that sense of satisfaction that isn't as consuming?<BR/>As for going out with work friends, yeah, I absolutely do that.

But I've known you longer than most of your readers and I know how hard this job has been on you. I feel like you could leave your company, go into a slightly different field of the same profession, and you would be safe from the soul vacuum. I think it's not so much the job that kills you as it is the heaviness of what you do. It's not the paperwork or the actual "doing" as much as it is the knowledge that it will change so many lives. So... maybe something a little bit lighter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
