Its 2 in the morning right now, and I just got home from work...Mondays and Tuesdays are my typical days off. This obviously places me on a pretty different planet from the rest of the world. I'm very fortunate in that my wife has basically rearranged her schedule so that we can at least share days off...so I definitely consider myself lucky.
As for friends and family though, it's always difficult. Always having to say no to dinners, birthday parties, and all of the normal stuff that goes on, but what really concerns me is what my schedule might do to family life going forward.
Do you have a "weird" schedule? If so, what do you do to make it work for you?
