First off - in recommending the following reading I find it necessary to 
first preface that I'm not on my traditional soap box on this one...  
and I certainly don't want to be the one to "cast the first stone" so to 
speak.  With that said:

I HIGHLY recommend folks read "The Man Who Mistook His Job for a Life: A 
Chronic Overachiever Finds the Way Home", authored by Jonathon Lazear.  
(ISBN:0609608460)

I certainly understand the need for ensuring things stay up and running 
- and yeah, I spend a good deal of time in off hours for upgrades and 
the like.  I guess I myself am quite fortunate in that I get comp time 
for it.  If I'm here tonight, I won't be tommorow... if I am, then a 
three day weekend is in order, etc.

/me shrugs   It makes a bigger difference now that I have a three year 
old boy at home...  
Dustin
