Autumn asked me today why I always stay in the office.  I told her something about my work and that her dad works away from home and I work at home.  She said that she misses her dad when he's at work.  I guess she missed me too when I was at work in my office.  You know, I do spend a lot of time here.  I am not always working because it is my 'man cave' too.  I hope I am not leaving other stuff that ought to have my attention to be here and give my work my attention.  But right now my work is a pretty important part of my life.  I don't work all of the time, but I do put in a lot of time here.  It makes me think of my choice to do this.  It has been a good thing for the whole family for a lot of reasons.  At times it can be very demanding.  Yet it does also allow me freedom that most others don't have.  I have come to know that many others couldn't stand to work at home the way that I do.  Me, I can't understand why anyone would want to work outside of the home the way that most of 'them' do it.  Since the first of the year I have had an increase in my work, which has jumped even more this week.  And yesterday and today it has been crazy.  It makes me tired just thinking about all the work that is sitting on my desk waiting for me.  It is a dilemma.  I don't know the best way to use my Saturday.  Sunday is easy.  I made that decision a long, long time ago.  But Saturday is harder.  I don't have any hobbies except watching TV ( and BYU does have a game tomorrow) but I enjoy my work and it HAS to be done.  I have learned how to see what I do as service.  It is a service to my family.  It is a service to the fellows that work for me (family here too) and, of course, it is a service. (pun intended).  I do have dreams about a different life.  If this happened, or if that was possible I might be doing something different.  But in my real world this isn't a bad way to go.  Sometimes it does get a little boring, but then the dream jobs do too after 40 plus years. (I think.)  But Autumn's question has given me pause to study on the matter.
