balancing work and kids

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.07.25

It's funny, I'm in the midst of studying things like accountability and efficiency, and dropped two and half days of work right in the midst of several projects & initiatives because one of my kids got sick. I was used to being a parent and missing work from the time in early 2008 when two-month-old Ken needed surgery. But where's the accounting for the human element among all these theories I'm studying.
