I actually have felt like that before, never mind the many weekends I DO work when I am really busy. Why do we feel guilty if we leave on time when we actually can? Why can't we remember all the weekends and extra hours we do put in? I recently took a new job and my new strategy has been: don't get a copy of the office key; in that way, I cannot stay later than the last person to leave, because I CAN'T :-). Very indirect, but the strategy seems to be working pretty well so far. I ABSOLUTELY loved this essay (Please tell Vicki Wilson)!!!

But by the time we are done, we shift to some other job and the whole process comes to square one. This is my experience. I have switched just one company and I am still learning new things in my new job. I am always late to dinner. :(
