I wrote “hard work depends on what side of the shovel you’re on”. It’s kind o f a smug, seemingly uniformed response.
I was married in my senior year of H.S. My daughter was 3 weeks old at my graduation (class of 77).
Needless to say I pretty much hit the grounfd running and took any and all opportunities to maximize the dollars I could make to support my new and immature family.
I really believed and obsessed about working as long and hard as I could to provide for my family. I felt I was already behind the proverbial 8-ball due to my early introduction to fatherhood.
This snowballed during our 15 years of marriage. I was constantly searching for bigger & better opportunities. This translated into long hard hours (retail mgmt. need I say more?)
I also accepted several geographical transfers that disrupted the stability of my family.
Yes, I worked hard and all I had to show for that chapter of my life was a divorce and missing some important times with my children. No do-overs
