Work Work Work...that's all I hear these days. He wakes up as early as
4am getting set for work and arrives at night, not earlier than 11pm everyday.
My husband, Jude now gives all his attention to his work at the expense of us,
his wife and children. Yes, he is the best husband any woman can have and he
sure works very hard to satisfy us but I still need him present at home, we
need him. Since he got a job with this new
company...we lost him. Even at home, he is thinking of work on his table at the
office. My children keep asking "where is daddy?"
Before daddy comes
in, they are already asleep and before they wake up, he is off to work...for me
that is still up, if I touch him this way or that way...he complains,
"honey I am very tired" so for weeks, we hardly make love. Instead, he
would bring out files and continue working till about 2am...
Come to think of
it, yes, the pay is better than what he used to earn and I am happy for
that...but I don't want him away all day and all night, everyday. I have been
bearing this for the past six months and I am writing now because he is now on
admission due to high blood pressure.
This is the third admission in 2 months. Doctors say he needs rest.

Bondedhome Counsellors, I had to cut the long story short. Only if Jude
and all of us who do white collar jobs look inward and put all those hours,
resources, abilities and potentials into our own jobs, our own creations; by
now, we would all be smiling to the bank in our own little ways.
Deut 28:12 The Lord will open to you His good treasure,
the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the
work of your hand.
Note: This verse did not say and to bless the work of your
Masters hand.
This is a statistic I drew up from my white collar sojourn so far..I do
9hrs daily, 54hrs weekly, 234hrs in a month, 2802 hrs in a year and now
14,040hrs in 5yrs. Now take a second and calculate yours. Done? Now imagine if
you have put all those hours into your
own business? Wouldn't it have yielded? Don't get me wrong. I know some people
who are very comfortable with their white-collar income...this may not be your
article...but don't forget, "you can't be richer than your boss". The
richest men and women are those who run their own businesses.
Instead of wallowing reluctantly in a company that is not currently
rewarding you commensurately, has no health system for you and your family, operate
a miserly packaged pension scheme, that is if there is any at all...and would
gladly sack you on any slightest error...and stand the risk of incessant high
blood pressure...why don't you think of liberating yourself.
What do you think?
Is she making a point?
Are you satisfied with your work statistics viz a viz your achievements?
