When I started this blog, I described my employment as "over-employed engineer." I was really tired of feeling like I spent more time at work than I wanted to without really spending enough time to ever feel as if I had caught up with my responsibilities. It just wasn't fun anymore. Every night when I got home from the office, Alpha and E-baby had already been home for almost 2 hours. There just had to be a better way to live than to miss out on family for low job satisfaction.
Well, I finally stopped complaining and did something about it. Now, I work for the state. After nearly 15 years as a design engineer in construction, my new role is as the owner. I am "the man," or something. I'm not really engineering structures anymore, but my experience is still going to good use. I think the change will be fun, and the best part is coming home on time. We've even started taking short evening walks again.

I'm glad you get home before e-baby's bedtime. :-)
WE are glad you'll be spending some time in New Bern!
Its great that you are getting to spend more time with Alphagal and E-baby. They missed you terribly when they were here but were excited knowing that you will be home more often. Yea new job!
