The Offer...
I got the job offer today. They called with a starting salary and I negotiated up a bit. Just a little, because I've never done it before... but it was something none-the-less. I'm supposed to call back tomorrow with a formal response and I'm leaning toward accepting the position.
Mike and my family are concerned that this will be a high-stress position and that I'll be sacrificing my life (so to speak) for a higher salary. Specifically, my mom is concerned that I'll be a bear at the end of each day.
So, the question is this: How does one turn off the work-day when one arrives through the front door at home every evening?

It is very hard to do. With my last job I lost a lot of sleep and it nearly ruined my relationship with my finacee. I was always worried about what I might have forgotten or messed up on.
I have been told that it is a mindset that you have to set early on in this job - to just let things go and enjoy those around you. Being around those you love should help - just remember that they are more important than any job.
I have had a hard time even in my current job of doing this but I have been trying. You can do it. You have a strong support system of people that care for you. Just don't let the job consume you.
