Back In the USA

Ok, I'm back catching up on things after a business trip overseas. Things do pile up after a while! I was struck by the whole concept that work / life balance seems to be very blurred by my European colleagues during this trip. Certainly business dinners going til midnight aren't the norm every night but it does cause the family to get short-changed. I was suprised that many of them felt like it just "goes with the territitory" and that us Americans need a thicker skin.

I think things haven't gone far enough in this country to help employees balance everything. Happy employees are productive employees and I firmly believe that.

To celebrate that I slept in til 6:45 this morning! ( I know, life on the edge...)
