At work  

One of the challenges many of us face is keeping that balance between our work lives and our home lives.  Whether we are working in traditional office jobs, creating our own work through small businesses or consulting, or focusing on keeping it all going with young children and the home front, it's a lot of work, and there is a lot to be juggled. 

As I fill out the site, you'll find some thoughts on ways of working, hard choices, starting a business, and trying to keep a sense of humor when 20 demands seem to vie for 3-demands'-worth of time.  Sometimes, my mantra seems to be, "you can have it all - except sleep", but in fact sleep and sanity aren't optional.  It's more a case of setting priorities that reflect your real values and needs, and letting go of perfection in favor of getting things done well.  I'll include material on "The Mommy Track", some professional resources for engineers, and some useful job search links.

I find myself these days working harder than I ever have before, and at the same time realizing that I'm one of the luckiest people I know.  Funny how that works.
