Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:Work vs marriage
Eric,
True enough. The major problem occurs when one heads for the &^%$ pile & we stop spending sufficient time at the other. Then both head for the &^%$ pile.
____________________Reply Separator____________________Subject: Work vs marriage
I have a story like this to tell;
Some time ago I had to work during the weekend for some ^#$&* hacked our
computers.
On Wednesday I took the wife and kids to the circus and some
hamburger-restaurant. They asked me 'when's the next weekend you have to
work?'
The guy next to me didn't do this, and his family tells him 'not to work
that much'
I think we all know that if everything ok at home, work goes well too.... (and v.v.)
