Hitting a crossroad really sucks...

[Spore]

So, I've been trying to get my business going for the past year... finally start getting some good business and, bam!, a company I was freelancing for asked me to go full time.

Okay... it's not really a crossroad 'cuz I have a 16 month old daughter and a steady job with benefits is the right thing to do... but damn, getting sucked back into the daily grind really bites.

Oh, well. More money for everyone.

Of course, that means more toys for me.

But less time on the board.

And less time with my daughter.

How do the rest of you cope???

life is all about finding ways to cope with decisions. gotta do whats best for those that didnt ask to be part of the situation.

I'd love to quit my job and find a new career, but the cut in pay would put too much burden on my family, so I stay with it. Sometimes you have to opt for the one less desirable for the sake of others

best to you in whatever you decide.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I cope by not having any kids, working a government gig (35 hours a week), and only actually working 10% of my time there, also, do a lot of "working from home" days...

Not sure the government hires photographers... then again, it is the Canadian government we're talking about here so...

Other opportunities will come about later in life. For now, you gotta do what you gotta do!

I sold my soul to Comcast for 20 years before I struck out on my own with my partner.
