Is your professional life affecting your personal life?

[yaju]

Professionally, I am an Application Developer, PL/SQL for Oracle, primarily working in SQL Tuning and Database Design.

I waited for several years to be in IT industry, as my biggest passion was Computers.

Anyway, about my profession affecting my personal life, I will simply share the dream I had today morning, around 6'o clock. You can make whatever inference you wish.

Brain is like a transactional table, whatever events we watch in our life, all of them get recorded in it like a new row entry in a table. When we remember something old, it fetches row for that particular timestamp using a select query and displays it on the screen of our mind.

How romantic.

Did for a fair few months recently - place had a crap atmosphere with rumours of office closures etc. meaning I was stressed out and depressed out of the office.

Since I got a new job, (less than 3 weeks left here) - I'm much more relaxed and happy at home!

People keep asking me if I want a piece.

Ahh the life of a food critic.

Are you sure you're not a poet, yaju?

Throws the Shakespearean authorship question wide open imo.

All the world's a stage,
And the brain is like a transactional table,
Whatever events we watch in our life,
All of them get recorded in it like a new row entry in a table.
When we remember something old,
It fetches row for that particular timestamp using a select query
And displays it on the screen of our mind.

I'm a freelance videographer/editor. Business is slow in Trinidad these days (yes, we have cameras in Trinidad) and it happens to coincide with a World Cup. So yes, my professional life is affecting my personal life, insomuch as it allows me to watch the entire World Cup.

lol freelance. Just say you're unemployed/unemployable and get on with it ****.

And another thing, your website/hair cut offends me.

I've just finished work for the day (log on at home during the night after I do normal office hours)

This time of year is absolute hell

I don't get paid anywhere near enough to justify the hours I do

I probably earn the least of all my professional friends, but work the craziest hours

So yes, my professional life is all consuming at present

I should make them mutually exclusive.

I'm fortunate that I have a wonderful job. My bosses are really like mates, I run my own race and, unuusually in my line of work, I'm in now way a slave to the timesheet.

I work reasonable hours, am well paid and am fortunate enough to travel and get fringe benefits like the phone paid for, a car space and nice lunches. Very, very lucky.

So, my professional life, fortunately doesn't affect my personal life. It used to when I worked elsewhere - long hours, maximum stress etc. Glad to have left that behind..

Funny thing lately though, find my personal life is really effecting my work. Quite a lot actually.

And all it cost you was your soul!

Soul? That's me - the white James Brown.

You're assuming I had one mate

Considering I understood your dream and even thought it was profoundly poetic, I think my professional life might be effecting my personal life.

The 7 months until the end of April, my work aged me 5 years, added 30 lbs (15 kg), started smoking again (since quit again) made my homelife difficult and caused a lot of arguments. I existed to do 1 thing and that 1 thing was dictated by work. I lived it and slept it. Part of it due to the task and the job and part of it due to how I deal with challenges. I was a horrible, selfish and stressed person that didnt treat my family as well as I should.

Now life is nice and relaxed and work is paying me back with a lot more time with the family.

Next time it will interfere will be in a different way. Not stress related but I will be seperated from my family for 6 weeks which I am dreading.

Being an entrepreneur, it is your capital and stakes involved. So you are thinking about business 24/7 and working all the time. Professional life is a PART of personal life. No real separation. Some might say it is a negative. I though, enjoy working for myself. Gives a lot of satisfaction when results are achieved.
