I have a guy at my office with 4 little girls that works insane hours. I truly feel bad for him, I hope he doesn't wake up someday and wonder where his time with his kids went. A fellow co-worker once used a line that has stuck in my head, "I work to live, not live to work". I agree with you Chris. I have a guy at my office with 4 little girls that works insane hours.

I worked for a guy that was just such a workaholic. He had to miss so many special family events because of his work. He had 4 kids, he's got another one on the way. His wife gives him crap about it, but he told me, "I warned her before we got married that I was very ambitious." I just can't see how it's all worth it. I'm looking to be worth a few million some day, hopefully, but not thru 60 hour weeks and missing my family. My dad always tells me, "No one ever says on their deathbed, 'I wish I had worked more hours at my job' " How true. For me, it’s family. I worked for a guy that was just such a workaholic.
