I work for a non profit and its terribly rewarding, so much so that i suffer in other areas of my life. I need to find a stable balance. it is nice to take long weekends around every holiday just because i can, but the evening schedule has killed my social life, i have friends here i have not seen in 9 months, maybe im bitching about the real world and i need to grow up and find a job with different hours but i need some week day evenings to grab a beer and dinner with people. i think i may see if i can get off at 7 or 8 a couple nights a week.

I'm a fan of taking days off work and hope to take one er two sometime soon. Doubtful, but I would love it. It is indeed fantastic to love your job though.
