Q: I’m married and love nothing better after a hard day at the office than spending some quality time with my husband. But a group of my colleagues frequently go out for a round (or two or three) of drinks after work, and they always invite me along. I’d rather go home and put my feet up, but I don’t want to seem like I’m unsociable. How can I balance these demands on my limited free time?
A: You have identified a key issue for many people seeking a sane life. Although “work” gets done during the usual hours, another part of work � the schmoozing, networking, building-relationships part � gets done after hours. This can be frustrating for people who have demanding private lives (Read: kids, hobbies, spouses), or for people who just feel like their work should speak for itself � never mind this partying stuff.
