I think the big four have sold their souls to the devil, and all in the name of Sarbanes-Oxley. My husband is an auditor, and he works for one of the major accounting firms. And since it's busy season he's working until some daylight free hour. The hubs works between 70 and 80 hours a week and earns absolutely zero overtime. So beside the obvious conflict of unpaid hard work and dedication, he's also getting frustrated that he has no time to himself. And I'm getting frustrated that I have no time with him. Last night he came home around 2 am, and I left for work around 5am. So yeah we shared a bed for 3 hours, but it seemed as if we were total strangers. I recall grunting at him when he came home. That's about as much of a welcome that he's gotten all week. Well, that's not totally true, one evening I awoke with a start and nearly screamed because I thought someone broke into my home. Even the dog is out of sorts from Joe's crazy work schedule. Dakota must have been in a deep sleep too, because he howled at Joe.
Besides the obvious lack of sleep, or a life for that matter, Joe feels bad leaving me home. I feel bad that I am home solo, but I wouldn't want to burden him with that. I'm sure he feels bad enough about it.
