On normal weekdays I moan that I never have enough time in the house because I'm always at work.
Today I worked from home and by 4pm started to feel unpleasantly odd at having been in the house all day without talking to anyone.
Never happy!

What is success?
Turned down a job today. Lecturer at one of the top universities in the UK, paying a good £8k a year more than I earn now.
I felt it wasn't quite the right step for me and that I would be academically and possibly socially isolated there. I don't want to skip too many developmental stages.
It made me think about what IS important in my job, and more generally, in my life. Feeling competent, learning, having a laugh, being cared for and caring for others - these are life's valuables.
Don't get me wrong, I want prestige and money, just not at that cost.
