I'm a professional, but I rarely do. It's a line I don't like to cross, and I've deliberately taken a job that pays less so the expectation isn't there. But I've always been like that, even in other jobs -- I remember working in my office until 3:00 in the morning on a Friday night on a last minute assignment just to avoid bringing work home (or working on the weekends, which I also try to avoid like the plague). For me, it was a health event that made me wake up more than anything my dad did (mother didn't work outside the home; she quit working just before I was born).

I *do* bring work home...a common pitfall of teaching. Although it's possible, I suppose, NOT to bring work home, I grew up with two workaholics. Not to sound too corny, but this will be a post that lingers in my brain for a bit. Therapy via blog. Who knew? Ooh. I *do* bring work home…a common pitfall of teaching.
