Brigid,

Thank you for your kind words.  I do agree that most teachers I know work very hard, and much longer hours than the school days.  I never intended this post to be a conversation about education or any other profession in particular, but only to convey that as leaders we have an opportunity to lead ourselves effectively and as a result, affect the culture of the workplace.  I do love my job.  It is fulfilling in a way that no about of money can replace.  I hope you feel the same way about your job.
I hope all of us can find something to love about our work and to convey that joy to those around us.

I appreciate your support and willingness to chime in.
