Alas, I have found myself without a drama to watch on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Drama-less. There is nothing to sustain me but the anticipation of Knight Flower over the weekend.

From law to consulting, I always find myself in jobs with long workdays and working weekends. I feel I need to examine the patterns in my thinking that lead to this. Severely burnt out and thinking of pulling a Summer Strike on the idea of employment altogether. If so, I’d likely have to go back to India (currently in the US). Who knows? Maybe I’ll have a When the Weather is Fine happy ending and finally meet the love of my life – it turns out he was back home all along! Together with – more importantly – my peace and sanity.

    Did you try Queen of divorce for a Wed/Thurs show?

    Our health and wellbeing are way more important than any employment. It might be worth thinking about alternative work that meets the need to pay bills but has more flexible hours and less stress. I swapped jobs and reduced hours and found something else to make up the drop in pay and I have a much better quality of life now. I hope you can find a way to stay in US if that’s what you want or return home in peace.

      Thanks for the kind words of support Reply! 🙂 I’m definitely working on finding a way out.

      I couldn’t quite get into ep 1 though I did try the show. What did you think of it?

    Peace and sanity are important. Is there no way to put some boundaries on your availability for consulting? (I only had the luxury of boundaries after about 10 years in my field, so I realize it’s not often possible.)

    Life / work balance is always a challenge in any field, at any stage. But life comes first. After all a job is only a part of your life. It is tough as all of us need to earn our way to survive in this world. I do hope you can find something that allows you to have a little more leisure time. Hwaiting!

        There have been issues with inappropriate word, spam alerts and missing comments recently. Hopefully, the site will be fully operational soon.

        No worries. At times the site refreshes automatically while I’m typing and I lose my comment. 😅 It happened five times in a row and I’m sure the Bean would have wondered why I’m replying an hour after liking their comment. 😄
