I'm Still at Work!

Working late in the office is becoming more and more common lately... I really dont like it.

There was an article i read not long ago about some old marketing guru that passed away... his last words were about how people in his industry and how they bragged about how much time they spent at work... the family dinners missed, recitals of sons' and daughters' forgotten... how people sacrificed so much to make the deadline of a 30 second commercial or product launch. 

"it's not worth it" he said.

It's so hard to believe that... but its true... if you read the article, it makes sense... you can see how single minded these people were... spending 24 hours at the office to churn out business success while sacrificing everything in life... but when you're at work, working for a deadline or target... one can't help but dump your time  there... Drop work once the clock strikes 7PM; Easier said than done...

it's 11:11 PM on a Monday as i write this... i should go home
