    This was an inspiring post, and I agree about people working in a job they hate. That’s how my life feels. My only happiness is when I’m lost in my stories.

      I take the good from my job where I can, but I make a point of doing things for myself that make me happy, while others I work with don’t and their home life is miserable, too.

        You really have to make time for yourself and not let a job take over your life. Yesterday, I took work emails off my phone, and I’m glad I did it. I want to make time for me again.

        Kudos to you for not letting a job take over your life!

          I refuse to put work email on my phone. I will check it when I’m off for vacation and forward/delete but other than that, nope.

            Smart! From now on, I won’t be doing it. Even when you invest your life in a company, most people don’t appreciate it.

          • Mischa Eliot says:

            Nope, they don’t and they can even go so far as hold it against you. You’re either working more than they are or working less, either way they might consider it making them look bad somehow. I’m glad you’ve taken work email off your phone. Be free!

            Yep! And thanks! I’d rather focus on my stories than worry about a job that can fire me anytime.
