answer:Oh, yes. It’s compounded by my working from home, too. The boundaries between work & home are seriously blurred for both me & my husband. (He works from home, too.) It also seems that many of my coworkers take a break around dinner time and then go back to working in the evening before bed. I often check email around bedtime only to end up with my brain stuck gnawing on some lingering problem like a dog with a bone. I’m definitely better off (and get to sleep earlier) on those evenings that I shut down the computer before dinner and intentionally don’t check email till the next day. When I’m on a work trip or particularly busy I often find my coworkers popping up in my dreams (or maybe nightmare is better way to describe it..). Work definitely collides with personal time, and quite frequently. What do I do about it? It’s a constant balancing act both ways. I absolve myself of guilt when I occasionally start of load of laundry or talk to my kids when “I should be working”. I also listen when my husband grumps at me to quit working for the day and give him a hand making dinner. As I was saying to my hubby over lunch today – I still think I’m incredibly fortunate to get to have breakfast, lunch and dinner together with my kids each day that I’m not traveling. It’s a huge “perk” to my job in my humble opinion and I’ll take the occasional extra late night of work for it any day.
