I lately get an hour or two on the couch with my wife many nights to veg out and drink a glass or 9 of wine. It’s good decompressing time. And yes, I do enjoy the work, and I work a lot but it sure beats digging ditchesI wonder if in the end it will be worth it. Take Oat's for example (but he's not the only one), the way he lays it out, he sacrifices almost his entire life to working. Same with a bunch of others who were 80hrs+. I'm sure Oat's wife and kids are super happy he's doing it and they can buy whatever they want, plus this must give Oats immense pleasure as well, but do you guys who work so much actually enjoy life enough to make all the cash worth it? And Oats how do you work that much on that little sleep while boozing a decent amount? Just insanely good metabolism?
If I never had time each evening to either cook, watch some shows, read, watch a flick, workout, etc I think I'd go insane.
But I’ve been burning the candle at both ends in the last couple years. Like I said, I see daylight coming. I’ve been working on a series of monster cases for a long time, but that will eventually end (it just HAS to). When it does, I’ll be wandering the hallways looking for things to do. The thought of that used to terrify me—I always worry the other shoe will drop and folks will question whether I’m pulling my weight—but now I would welcome a couple months of that.
