In health care we refer to a quick survey called the CAGE questions.\n\nCAGE Questions\n\n1. Cut\n   Ever felt you ought to cut down on your drinking?\n2. Annoyed\n   Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?\n3. Guilt\n   Ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?\n4. Eye Opener\n   Ever had an eye-opener to steady nerves in the AM?\n\nIf someone answers yes to two of them, then there's a strong indication they have a drinking problem. The more 'yes' the more likely you have a problem.

It depends on the person and what goes on, but in most cases I would guess that people worry too much about making something good turn bad that they pass up on the whole good thing entirely.\n\nSometimes you just have to take the risks and hope things turn out alright in the end.

There is never too much money. Because honestly, if i had too much money, i could eat caviar 3 times a day and fly my private jet between my 135 houses all over the world. That would really be okay by me.\n\nOn that note, if you feel that you have too much money, i'll gladly accept some of that extra cash.

my home life is more important to me then anything. i quit a $60,000 a year job to stay home with my children because it's what i felt was the right thing to do for my family. i think some people can't get their priorities straight cause they still haven't figured out that money can't buy love yet. \n\npeople wake up no matter how sucessful or rich you are, what good will it be when you have no family, husband or wife to share it all with? there can be an ideal balance between the 2 for survival, but most just chase the buck and forget about what really matters.

It's never a big deal, unless your not getting it. I think it is very important. It seems to be getting better, and more important the older I get.

I used to think about questions like that, but I don't anymore. Why would I quit? Because when I think that way I can no longer function in reality. If I want to be successful and happy I stay away from thinking like that. I can go on and on about it, but I'm just gonna leave it at that. Just because I could ponder that does not mean it's healthy.

If you aren't sure of what the changes are or how they will affect your family, talk to your Human Resources person...they should be able to fill you in on the details!!  Good luck!

It is usually a bad idea. When you have a problem with a co-worker you can leave it at work. When its family, you bring it home with you.

Most all people have some sort of mental illness. The key is are you being affected emotionally or physically by this person. If the answer to this is yes then take it from an middle aged person suffering daily from a boss and mother that are mentally ill. This has had a HUGE affect on my life and my children. So MY advice is to look for another job in an organized manner and make the move if you have any of the above issues.There are bosses that donot get off on power struggles.I have one now. BEST TO YOU.

Usually, that's a bit too personal.  Just accept what you make , do a great job, and get a raise as you work more at the company.

You should be thankful to have a husband who works too much instead of a bum.  Men have their own reasons why they work too hard, in my situation my husband's reason is it is for us, his family.  He works hard so he can provide whatever we need and want all through out our lives because he loves his family so much.  He also works for self-fulfillment and I may say that there are people who are naturally born workaholic.  You see, when my husband is at home he never stops working, he cleans the house and does all household chores.  At first, it drives me crazy to see him work too much but as time passes I learned to accept the fact that he's a hyperactive man who needs to move all the time.  When it comes to our children, I explain to them that their father works all the time because he loves us.  That's why they should understand why they seldom see him because what he does is for all of us.  I don't know if your husband kisses or hugs your children but you see my children are very satisfied with my explanations to them and whenever my husband comes home he makes sure he kiss and hug our children even when they are already asleep.  I think it is very important for children to feel their father's love by simple gestures even if they seldom  see him.

Nothing...I probably wouldn't tell anyone and keep on working at my job.  It's not so bad.  I would get bored quickly without work...I had today off and I'm borderline insane already.  I need to be busy.

You can't really do much except let it roll off your back.  She's family and she'll get treated differently probably until she screws up.  As unfair as that is.  You can't say much because that'll make you the bad guy.  If it's really bothering you, you should look for another job.

Think about your lungs. Companies don't care about you. They only care about their product and making money. I know this is a new job for you, but is it worth the misery????

I earn a SALARY of about $35K a year. Not much, but I am happy with my work. The true EARNINGS come fomr much more than money, though. I earn friendship, trust, honor, praise, knowledge, the ability to learn more not just about my job but about life in general. It is a terrible thing to waste a mind. Use it every day, to the best of your ability. Relish the new, treasure the past, learn and grow. And thank your higher power for bringing you to where you are. Kinda soapbox but hey, that's what this is all about, isn't it??

I would like a stable life but I have a family that's way too dysfunctional for that. My life is rather exciting, full of huge ups and downs. Its not ideal but its what I have so I've learned to deal with it. Drama stalks me. I think its because I attract crazy people, haha.
