    Work is my life and I love almost every minute of it so I have always practiced work-life integration. If you feel the need daily, weekly, or monthly to 'get away from it all' I believe you are in the wrong job. I suggest quitting and finding something you love where you can't wait to get up in the morning.

    Paying attention to the natural environment is critical to understanding the incredible diversity of plants and animals surrounding us and the need to protect everything from what lives in the world's oceans to the creatures living right outside your front door. You cant do that with your head down.
