I work to have money to do other things, not because it defines who I
am. To paraphrase Dr. Laura, I am my kid's (soon to be kids') father. I
am my wife's husband. I am also a technical writer. If that makes me
unprofessional or anything, then so be it.

I wholeheartedly agree with you Chris! I would always put my family's needs
above all else. A job comes and goes, but my family will always be there. And
when I'm old and gray, I will depend on it, not on some job I had.
I don't mind putting in some overtime here and there, but I would not work
60hrs a week on a regular basis just to 'prove' that I am dedicated.
