I virtually always chose the option in panel 2 - go out and feel guilty.
I have found that I do best in a more structured job - one that I "go to" and then "come home from", so there's a clear separation as to when work begins and when it ends. Otherwise I just don't get anything done, and then feel guilty about it.
I could spend my life overcoming those feelings, or just stick with a job like my current one where I feel no guilt at all about not being there! :-)
Not to sound too preachy, but one of the guiding principles I live by is to try to remove guilt from my life. Either by acting in ways which won't make me feel guilty later (always a good thing), or by deliberately forcing myself to not feel guilty when it's not needed (harder to do).
Anyway, I spent a lot of time working in University, and looking back, I regret I didn't socialize more, or have more fun. So now, I don't make that mistake at work. No one ever looks back and wishes they spent more time working.
