It was a difficult journey but one thing I did was widen my network and move to jobs I liked better. <br /><br />Today, I am still employed, albeit by an NGO and work part-time (translation and editing)<br /><br />During the day I hug my ninotazizhttp://www.ninotazizpurplemusings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468876060719158782.post-217667974641800272012-08-04T15:38:04.685+08:002012-08-04T15:38:04.685+08:00Hi Zunnur, work-life balance is a piece of puzzle ...Hi Zunnur, work-life balance is a piece of puzzle I struggle to work on each day:) Life is great but like you it is very hectic.
