What I’ve Been Up To (Or, Don’t Neglect Your FAMILY!)
Friday, September 18th, 2009
FatherHood Friday is here again, and I’ve been so busy that I had a hard time coming up with a topic for today. So why not write about how busy I am?! I have good news and bad news. I always like to start with the bad and then cheer up. The bad news is, I’ve been working crazy long hours lately for no additional pay. Really? How much sense does that make? The good news is, starting Sept. 26, I go on a three-day-on, three-day-off schedule. (Applause.) In an effort to get the store ready for such a structure, naturally, there’s some amount of preparation involved. So, in the days and weeks leading up to this change, there have been some crazy long days, which in turn lead to the wife saying things like, ‘You’re son’s not going to know you.’ To which I reply, ‘Hang in there, it’ll all be better soon…’ And it should be. I’ve been working hard to make this change positive for work and my home. But will sacrificing the here and now be worth it?
