It’s true: I wish I could hide under the bed like this cat.
\nThey’re cute, they’re fluffy, they’re fun. People say if you love what you do, it’s not really work.
\nBut when it’s a job that keeps you away from home for weeks on end…
\nWhen all your spare time is spent driving to other people’s houses to feed, play, scoop litter…
\nWhen you’d rather be doing anything else, even though the company is nice…
\nThen it’s work.
\nAnd what do you do when you don’t\u00a0need<\/em> the work? Do you quit? Do you cautiously hold on to it, in case there comes a day when you’re feeling less stable? Do you try to scale back your efforts, only to find that that is much harder than it sounds to say no to the people to depend on you?<\/p>\n

What do you do?<\/p>\n
