What a crappy week

I finally got around to reading the ESPN article on John Harbaugh’s week.

 I don’t know how any people who work that way maintain a family at all. I’m not trying to be rude or mean, but I’ve always postulated that the families that can survive that don’t really enjoy being together in the first place. They enjoy the separation. It happens a lot in the military too.

 I had to laugh at one of the few quotes in the article. Harbaugh said that he enjoys the 15-25 minutes of phone time with his wife every day because “… it's a chance to step away from everything and remember what's important." Based on our previous discussions, an outside observer would look at his schedule and come to the conclusion that for John Harbaugh, family CAN’T be “what’s important.”

 I guess that’s why they get paid the big bucks, but I’m not sure I want a job that requires me to sleep on the couch in my office when my home and family are 30 minutes away.
