Career and Kids

Fat, Forty and Fired

by elizabeth on April 13th, 2007

Fat, Forty and Fired by Nigel Marsh is the story of one man’s journey through raising children, the loss of a high powered job, major surgery, and the realization that work, rather than his family, had dominated his life.

His year off following these events was a life changing experience as he realized that he needed to change some things in his work-life balance.

Well I would red your blog, if I had a career and kids. I didn’t mean any offense to you. I was just being silly. Your blog is probably far more valuable to your target audience than mine.

I should probably take a look at this as by your description, it is a similar story to my own. Only it was 9/11 that caused me to find myself jobless.

Oh, and congrats on the recognition, regardless of what the clueless Edgar has to say, it is well deserved.

I am fat, fired and fifty. Lost my job in a dental office. They hired a slim young woman in here late teens or early 20s. It is unfair and insulting. I am looking into taking legal action.
