I'll repeat in case no one heard....if your job is your life, then you have no life! Don't make me say it a third time! Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Bullsh!t

Wow! With this stimulus plan, I have really been put to task with all of the changes, notifications and all. I have forgotten what 'me time' is and am down right tired of sitting in on legislative sessions already! Anyone else dealing with the stress of the sudden changes? - yes I am cleaning the place where I work because they let go of the cleaning crew...

I lost my job! And now my life is really begining! I used to have that problem. But I finally solved it.

I spent 10 years as a salesman (a successful one), and I shaped my personality.

If yur job is your life, you have no life....period I disagree, without my job I can almost certainly say I would be dead. My job is really the only thing I have out here, not only is it how I finance what few things I have to finance it keeps my mind busy and off other things I would otherwise be thinking if I didn't have it...right now, my job is the only guarantee I will live to see tomorrow...

I worked three jobs at once not to long ago. Just quit the second job as of last Wednesday. I am just getting used to not working around the clock, however I still worry about finances. My youngest daughter needs me at home more though.

When you've had to do whatever it takes to make ends meet to raise your kids, it's very easy to become a work-a-holic. That's my experience, at least... I am trying very hard to keep BALANCE in my life and take down-time for myself, my family, my friends, etc. THAT is a big job in itself!

I have became an everything guy. -I can fix your PC while wash and stain your deck and mow the lawn and later fill out your tax return, while at home I have to translate poems and articles to another language.
