Hi Edaja,

You're welcome to email me to discuss the whole concept of work-life balance.

Not being able to take that Sunday off is ... ridiculous.

I think being in the CA firms... they work you to "death". Industry might not be any better, but it the hours shouldn't be as crazy as the CA firms.

Email me whenever you get the chance.

Thanks!

Dearest sister:

I have faced this constantly, believe it or not, with my program.

I know it's difficult to imagine since my business is entirely different from yours and you have not seen me due to you living elsewhere, but I am telling you, doing this to yourself will, at some point, become unsustainable and not viable for you.

You'll just wind up grumpy, tired, sick, and hurting those closest to you. It's not worth it. If you see this as a stepping stone for something bigger and that this is a necessary evil, then that depends entirely on your values and it's up to you to assess.

Hi Edaja,
I know what mean with Work Life balance. It's hard being a working mother and there are plenty of times I'd love to quit.

You are a very talented and smart gal. You have alot of great experience and are smart. I think you'll have alot of opportunities out there for you, especially working for a Big 4 firm and being a CA.

That was wrong what you manager did to you. You should have been able to see your grandmother.
