Work - Life Balance

I'm standing behind my Man this weekend as he feverishly works to complete a deadline on a project he was supposed to be taken off of weeks ago. He's working so hard this weekend and I couldn't be prouder. It makes me so happy to see that he will do what it takes to follow through on his commitments. And I have to admit, it is difficult sometimes to do the right thing and not discourage him from doing this. I would much rather play. We had considered going to Yellowstone this weekend...so I'm pouting a little bit :)

Working together has its many many benefits, but one of the mixed benefits is that when he stays in the office and works, I find myself compelled to do the same to keep him company. So we were here in the office until 11pm last night and have been in the office all day today. I've been having a fairly good time and have gotten the rare opportunity to do some heavy tech geeky research which is very good for me. Also, last night I queued up "Super Size Me" on my laptop using my NetFlix account and we were able to enjoy a movie while working. Ciege is getting a little burnt out though, I can tell. We're about 20 minutes away from heading home and I'm hoping that we'll be able to get some major rest before we have to come back in tomorrow for another round of this.

And the Dilbert cartoon is not meant to belittle our work situation. One of the things that our work has always been awesome about is promoting a great Work - Life balance. For every hour of overtime I have spent here, I think they've repaid me double as far as flexibility in the hours I work and plenty of allowing me to "work from home" when I needed to get out of the office around 3pm from time to time. Working with my spouse blurs the line of work and life because we are experiencing work together. It makes it easier :)
