I just finished reading Fat Forty and Fired and laughed a lot! I remember one of our managers telling a story years ago about the myth of work-life balance... examplified by her story of being late to go home one night. In an effort to make providing dinner easier she went via the Red Rooster drive thru to grab a cooked chook. Just as she pulled up at the end of the line up of cars her phone rang... "are you to lady in the red car in the drive thru at Red Rooster?" to which she replied yes.... "Well this is your husband in the first car in the line-up at the Red Rooster drive thru, I'll get dinner tonight." or something to that effect... heheheh. Nigel has TED talks and three books and more... check out his website for the links. I'm due to start Overworked and Underlaid next and have his third too. Another part of my life balance changes has been enforced by the switching off of the analogue system. I now have no tv in my bedroom and that is a great thing... I am reading again... more than just work books, well they are sort of, but still fun!
