Have you skimmed Arlie Hoschild’s work? I think you would love her work “The Time Bind” when home becomes work and work becomes home because she weaves studies and data into a powerful message just like you do.

I picked your book off a shelf in a fancy bookstore without knowing what it was, looked at the intro and first chapter and was hooked. I loved your descriptions of the job disasters and your meltdown into turning around your worst fears. I think I’m gonna start there. I’ve never managed to get and keep a job I could actually make a living off of, so I figure I’m way ahead of the game of the painfully employed. I’ve lived off small inhieritances I never expected to get and ended up taking care of my mother in her declining years, thereby turning my status as family black sheep and scapegoat garbage can to the person sisters dearest and estate must be grateful to. You have one fast brain, thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. I agree Heath Ledger should not have died at 28.I think it’s stupid they won’t just say what killed him besides stress. Brad Renfro was another young actor who died recently of alcohol abuse. Sincerely Shirley
