It hit me big-time around 25, but leveled off once I got a promotion and raise. <BR/>I used to be a drop-the-hammer, accelerate kind of worker, in love with my job, but that's changed over time. Now I find I'm better when I string my bursts of energy together into an almost smooth performance. <BR/><BR/>It's tough to hang in there sometimes, but I will tell you the view from this side of the mommy-life-change is way different than over there, pre-mommy. If you can, ride out that melancholy and try to push through for the next couple years. People do look at you and your aspirations differently once you decide go for a life change. So influence them, dazzle them while you can, and get the next promotion, raise, whatever. Having additional clout at or beyond your level will make any potential changes much easier. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line, I think you're just normal. Jen's right. But do pack snacks in your desk. Especially graham crackers and chocolate. They make the stupid long days feel like a campout. ;)ChicMama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14433099039913541302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36876169.post-1162328710885604192006-10-31T15:05:00.000-06:002006-10-31T15:05:00.000-06:00Thanks, Jen.
