I've been thinking a lot about my work/life balance. Or lack thereof, depending on what day it is.
The aspect of my non-work life that stresses me out the most is my house. Although I love my home, taking care of it seriously stresses me out. The changing of the seasons always causes some insects to come inside from the surrounding woods, an event that only makes me feel worse about my housekeeping skills.
As for the yard... oh, man. I am thisclose to hiring someone to do the yard work for me. One of my coworkers commented that it was ridiculous to pay someone else something I could do perfectly well on my own. Up until recently, I agreed with him. It would be a waste of money, right?
But this week I got to think about it more. Sure, it might cost 50 bucks to have someone do my yard. That would be 25 bucks per hour. Could I do the yard myself in two hours? Probably.
But you know what? My time is worth more than 25 bucks an hour. That's right. I'm worth more than $25/hour.
What are you worth?
In other news, I deleted (and then reinstated) my blog list in an attempt to fix the glitch with backlinks. (Was I successful? Who knows. Thanks, blogger.) I'm slowly repopulating it, so please leave a note if you haven't been added yet!
